Upcoming Events
Master Milongueros Judy & Jon are the only northamerican couple to ever be adopted by the porteños as ‘Authentic Milongueros’. During the years they have lived in Buenos Aires, they have acquired a profound understanding of the history, culture, and music of the Tango. They teach Salon Tango as danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires. Their style demonstrates the best of traditional Tango de Salon.
Jon is known for his elegance and creativity and his connection and sentimiento within the embrace. Judy is admired for her adornments and beautiful foot placement. Together they transmit their own ‘Tango Verdad System’ with clarity, charm, and intelligence.
Judy & Jon perform regularly in Buenos Aires on stage and at famous Buenos Aires milongas including Sunderland, Porteño y Bailarin, La Nacional, Salon Canning, Gricel and Glorias Argentinas. They are on the teaching staff of the renowned Confitería La Ideal and Cultura Tango Academía.
