Marcelo Solis

Marcelo Solis was born in Argentina; he has been an Argentine Tango dancer, choreographer and instructor for over 25 years, and has taught and performed in Argentina, USA, Canada and Europe.  As Tango instructor Marcelo makes emphasis on musicality and the connection of dance partners to each other and the music; he stresses that Tango is a social dance framed by a specific set of values that are expressed through a series of codes of etiquette; and he encourages and promotes his students ability to improvise on the dance floor.  With these elements Marcelo creates a unique atmosphere through which his students can experience what a Milonga in Buenos Aires is like.

Marcelo's love for Tango dancing and Tango music is undeniable when you meet him. While in the San Francisco Bay Area Marcelo keeps a busy schedule imparting group classes, workshops, talks about Tango, and private lessons. He goes to Buenos Aires several times a year to teach and perform at some of the most prominent Milongas, such as Salon Canning and Confitería Ideal.
