More About The Teachers |
Jenny Frances and Ricardo Oria love tango - its music, its song, and its dance. They love the moment of surrender in the arms of your partner, the feeling of losing yourself and yet finding yourself at one with the music, at one with your partner, at one with yourself. They are proud to be part of the tango community: a rich culture steeped in history, which is still of relevance today and continues to grow.
Ricardo and Jenny love dancing together on a crowded floor (or on an empty floor) and hope to transmit some of this through their performances and through their teaching.
Ricardo and Jenny came together in 2002 and since then they have been invited to teach and perform in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, France, Spain, Germany and Argentina.
They also organise and participate in the annual 'Bailongo! Tango Festival' in Edinburgh.

Aside from DJing, he also organises Milonga UN PLACER in London and was one of the organisers of Tango Etnia and Milonga 3D, also in London.
When he DJs, he loves creating a journey through the music, changing the atmosphere and energy as the night unfolds. While he mainly plays golden-era orchestras, he likes to mix in some modern orchestras to keep things fresh. His love for music, the night, and keeping the dance floor alive often means the dancing continues well after the milonga is supposed to end.
