About Lorena & Pancho: Lorena Ermocida and Pancho Martinez Pey are Tango Argentino dancers, masters and choreographers who mastered both the Tango de Pista and the Stage Tango without neglecting the essence of the genre. Artists of great trajectory with more than 20 years in the Tango, they began to dance together in 2012, participating in various festivals around the World and in Argentina.
As dancers, the Elegance and Precision stand out in each of their movements, seeking in every step the content and authentic feeling of the real Argentine Tango, managing to transport to the stage the mystique and connection that is found in the Tango de Pista.
Great teachers recognized both for their technical and methodological and pedagogical aspects, can approach and share the secrets of Tango, Milonga and Waltz, respecting each one’s own characteristics and essence.
