Carlos and Maureen Urrego

Carlos and Maureen have been dancing together since 2016.  They have traveled around the US, Colombia and Argentina teaching, competing and performing while continuing to study with many different tango masters.  They have produced tango shows in the city of New Orleans and have also been part of the Thalia Spanish Theater in New York.  Some of the award winning couple's biggest accomplishments have been special guest performers in the mythical Salon Canning and Maldita Milonga in Buenos Aires, Argentina and also created the first Medellin Tango Marathon in Medellin, Colombia.  Their teaching style brings positive energy and clear instruction to the classroom for those looking to improve their dance for the social dance floor as well for those looking to teach, perform or compete.
