A Little Buenos Aires Guest Teacher - Manuel Alejandro

When most of the boys had gone to play football, Manuel's dream was to become a great Tango dancer.

Manuel Alejandro Albaracin was born in Colon, province of Buenos Aires-Argentina. At the age of 13, he joined the group Ballet de Tango founded by Roberto and Zulma an established Tango couple well known in Colon and Buenos Aires. Robert and Zulma's tango school had successfully natured many young dancers. Amongst them is Pablo del Greco the charming young talent who visited Sydney last year.

Under the guidance of Robert and Zulma, Manuel's talents grew and so did his recognition as a professional dancer. Since then Manuel Alejandro was invited to teach in Luna de Tango in Tokyo, Japan and has been teaching there for the last 2 years. At the age of 22, Manuel has travelled and performed in Buenos Aires, Uruguay, Chile and Japan.

Manuel has been a guest teacher with A Little Buenos Aires for the past two months. Here are some of the images captured during these Speciality Tango Workshops!
