Aldo Romero is a true maestro of traditional close-embrace Argentine tango. His dancing is an effortless blend of impeccable technique, elegant minimalism, deep partner connection, and exceptional musicality. Together with Marcela Pilatti, he is the 2026 Buenos Aires Tango World Champion in the Senior Category.

Aldo’s teaching is rooted in the traditions of the Buenos Aires milongas, with a particular focus on milonguero technique, connection, musicality, and the subtle nuances that give authentic Argentine tango its distinctive character.

Based in Buenos Aires, Aldo has been teaching and performing tango for more than 20 years. Throughout his career, he has studied with many of the genre’s renowned masters, including Gustavo Naveira, Giselle Anne, Mingo Pugliese and Esther Amelio, Natalia Games and Gabriel Angio, Carolina Bonaventura and Demián García, and Facundo Piñeiro and Vanesa Villalba.

Today, Aldo is the host of the De Caravana and El Milongón de la Tradicional milongas at the historic Salón Marabú in Buenos Aires. He performs in La Ventana Tango Show in San Telmo, where he dances alongside legendary tango dancer Alicia Monti. He is a member of the El Cruce Escuela de Adultos ballet and a featured artist with Sol y Luna in Denver, Colorado.

Aldo’s competitive achievements span more than two decades. Most recently, dancing with Marcela Pilatti, he became the Champion in the Senior Category at the 2026 Buenos Aires Tango World Championship. Prior to that he won the 2025 Campana Tango Championship and the 2026 Salta Championship. He was a finalist at the World Tango Championship in 2004, 2010, and 2011 with Ana Lia Carrizo, and again in 2024 with Cynthia Giannini. Earlier in his career, he won the 2011 Metropolitan Tango Championship in the Senior Category.

Through his dancing and teaching, Aldo brings students not simply steps, but the tradition, intimacy, musicality, and unmistakable feeling of tango as it is danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires.

We’ve had such a wonderful summer filled with incredible live music, dancing, and so many talented musicians. But most of all, we are grateful for all of the wonderful dancers who came out, danced, listened, laughed, and helped make The Barn such a special place.

We’re ending the season with something very special:

Los Tangueros del Oeste!

This fantastic ensemble brings a modern, energetic sound to tango, making this a perfect night for both listening and dancing.

Los Tangueros del Oeste is an electro-acoustic Nuevo Tango ensemble founded and led by bassist and composer Sascha Jacobsen. The band is highly celebrated for modernizing traditional Argentine tango by blending it with contemporary rhythms, electronic textures, hip-hop elements, and jazz. They have performed across the US, and at the Electro Tango Festival of Buenos Aires 3 years in a row. Los Tangueros were nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Tango Album in 2022.

The musicians:
Daniel Riera — vocals, Carlos Caminos — guitar, Diego Ramil — piano, Keiko Cadby — violin, Ben Thomas — drums, Sascha Jacobsen — bass, Adrian Jost — bandoneon

Maria Olivera in Seattle – Private Lessons

To schedule your private lesson, please contact:

Carmen Elisa Valencia
206-313-1727
carmenelisav@comcast.net

Reserve your spot early—availability is limited.

Saturday (9/26) 1:00 – 2:30 pm
Structure and improvisation, plus several techniques for pivots ~ 8 ways to flip the ocho (from back to front, & maybe vice versa…) How many ways can you think of? Experienced dancers will enjoy this trove of options.

Saturday (9/26) 3:00 – 4:30 pm
Joy, melody and yearning ~ Banked and bent salidas & turns: dance a sustained curve through space (including followers adding two specific curves to a straight map, and leaders creating a curving map).

Sunday (9/27) 1:00 – 2:30 pm
Density and dynamics ~ tone muscles of the lower body for grounded stability, but also for a special quality of movement.  Through brief, contrasting tango sequences, explore how this use of the legs affects the embrace and brings a better partnership.

Sunday (9/27) 3:00 – 4:30 pm
Drama and beauty ~ Extra twist: Shaping the torso not exactly for technique, but for pleasure, panache, and personality! For sinuous insistence! In this class the footwork may be familiar, but you’ll be challenged to sculpt a dance of the whole body.

On Saturday night, Rebecca and Josh will perform at Tony and Ilana‘s milonga, which Rebecca will also DJ, although not at the same time

Classes will be held at Dance Underground, 340 15th Ave E.

The full workshop (4 classes) is discounted to $130.
A single class is $35.

Cash/check/Venmo/PayPal/Zelle to Rebecca (ask her for her details)

Rebecca lives in New York, began dancing tango in 1991, and traveled frequently to Buenos Aires throughout the 90s, learning from, dancing with, and observing dancers who in their youth had danced in tango’s Golden Age (the 1940s).

She has also taught and performed with a wide variety of today’s finest teachers and performers, including visiting Seattle with about 5 different partners over the decades. She’s been called “unique in her parallel skillsets of being a truly comfortable and skilled social dancer as well as a captivating performer – both as a leader and follower!” (Dan Boccia). Ballet, yoga, and contact improvisation round out her background, and she continues to learn tango both from her various partners and by taking classes whenever she can. All this training and experience makes her “exceptionally versatile as a teacher, enabling her to craft unusually engaging classes and provide detailed, attainable feedback to dancers” (Dan again)

On this visit, Rebecca is very happy to be collaborating with Seattle’s own Josh Rigley, who has lived on the east coast in past years, where they’ve sometimes had the chance to meet up to dance and trade ideas. Josh also has a long history in tango, and a background in other dance and movement forms. While Josh says he just wants to support her work in Seattle, Rebecca, having been improved by his knowledge and inspired by his dancing, wants to share that with you all. Expect him to join her in some of the teaching, particularly on Sunday.

Contact Rebecca at kelebekka@gmail.com or 917-828-1250 with any questions and to register. She’ll also be available for private lessons on the days immediately before and after the weekend.

Please Join us September 13th, 2026 at Polish Home, 1714 18th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122, from 3:00-5:30PM (Doors at 2:30) to celebrate the life of Ruth Offen. Memories throughout her life will be shared by friends and family with time afterwards for anyone that would like to share a story or moment they had with her. La Garua Tango Tea at Polish Home Milonga ($20 entry) will follow after at 5:30.

Please RSVP so we have enough food and drink for all: https://ruthoffen-col.com/
