Michael "El Gato" Nadtochi & Elvira Lambo

Michael “El Gato” Nadtochi brings over 20 years of professional dance experience, having taught and performed tango in more than 30 countries. A former Russian National Youth Ballroom Champion and U.S. National Professional Dance Couple of the Year, Michael eventually devoted himself fully to Argentine Tango. Founder of the Argentine Tango Academy of New York & New Jersey and creator of The Art of Tango, he is known worldwide for his artistry, precision, and belief that tango is a journey of self-discovery.

Elvira Lambo, with over 30 years in dance and 20 years of teaching, brings a rich background in ballet, folk, jazz, modern, and Indian classical dance. Since discovering tango in 2009, she has become one of Russia’s most respected tango artists, crowned Russian Tango Champion in the Milonguero category (2019). She continues to inspire with her musicality, creativity, and deep connection to tango’s traditions and evolving expression.

Together, Michael and Elvira combine extraordinary experience, passion, and elegance, offering dancers both inspiration and profound insight into the art of tango.

Francis Aguilar & Sophie Sperling

They met in Buenos Aires in December 2022 and, just a few days later, chose to unite their artistic careers, establishing their base in Milan. Thus began their shared journey, bringing together two complementary visions of Tango: musical research and interpretative depth, structure and intuition, technique and the poetry of movement.

Both are internationally active professional artists in Tango Salón and Escenario, choreographers, and directors of their school in Milan, with an artistic background that also includes performing with the renowned TangoX2 company. They are members of the Ejestango Union and are featured in festivals, competitions, and theatres across Europe and Argentina.

Their interpretation of Tango is distinguished by a contemporary language deeply rooted in tradition, embracing an aesthetic that elevates the equal dialogue within the couple, expressive clarity, and the narrative power of movement - creating a balance designed to speak both to the artist’s sensitivity and to the audience’s emotion.
