Leo Fandango comes from a very traditional family and got introduced to Argentine Tango from a very early age (7 years) when his father organised Milongas and taught Tango. Being exposed to Tango at such an early age Leo was able to learn and appreciate this dance and the way of life in a way which to many of us is not accessible. All this reflects in his style of dancing and teaching. Buenos Aires In 1979 Leonardo finished his studies as an instructor of Tango and native dances with the School of Dance “Teatro Roma” in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires. From this moment onwards, he began to perform in shows as a Tango dancer. In 1983 he founded a group called “Hijos de Artistas” with artists who amongst other projects organized a new year’s eve festival in front of the famous Obelisco of Buenos Aires to help charities helping children in hospitals. Leonardo worked as a dancer and singer in numerous theatre pieces and shows: “Teatro Alvear, San Martin”, “Teatro de la Rivera”, “Teatro Margarita Sirgus” in San Telmo and Teatro Roma, Avellaneda (to name but a few). As a choreographer Leonardo worked in the “Teatro Gral San Martin” in works (sainetes) of Alberto Bacarezza named “Su cuna fue un conventillo” and “El conventillo de la paloma”, in which he choreographed both, the actors and singers. Leonardo danced in participation with Orchestras “Fernandez Branca, Tipica Imperial” and “El Quinteto” directed by Eduardo Malaguarnera (Violin player in “Orquestra de Tango de Buenos Aires”). In this formation he danced together with his former dance partner in famous places such as “Café Tortoni”, “El Viejo Almacen”, “Salon del Congreso de la Nacion Argentinas” and in different provinces. In Buenos Aires Leonardo was director of the School of Tango called “Alma de Fandango”, whose aim is to spread the Tango amongst secondary schools. This project has been approved by the Secretary of Education in Buenos Aires. LONDON: Leonardo has been teaching and organising successful dance nights since 2001. He has run a popular Milonga in Balham since 2003. Leo danced in the 3rd international Tango Festival in London in November 2001 and performed and taught with Bridget at the 1st Leeds Tango Festival 2004. Leo taught & performed at the 1st Tango Extravaganza UK Festival in London 2007 together with Bridget. Leonardo's style of Tango is very unique and authentic and in his dancing he reflects the years of being brought up and having lived amongst family and friends who themselves loved Tango - not only as a dance but also it's music, poetry and philosophy. His approach to Tango is not only technical but also sentimental and his teaching method reflects on this as he believes that every individual should develop his own style and personality in the dance.
