Julio Mendez &
Medina-Ray Tango Duo
Dancers
Roberto Reis & Natalia Lavandeira
El tango envuelve a los bailarines y ellos con sus cuerpos dibujan el encuentro, siempre misterioso, de dos almas.
Roberto y Natalia, bailarines porteños, expresan la belleza de la danza a través de técnica, armonía y estética. Profesionales de vasta trayectoria persiguen una línea moderna sin olvidar lo tradicional: ese indecible de la música de Buenos Aires.
Festivales, exhibiciones y una genuina vocación como “Maestros” los acompañan en su pasión por llevar el tango a las ciudades del mundo y ofrecer su experiencia a todos aquellos que sientan, esta danza, como suya.
