Paloma Berrios & Maximiliano Alvarado

We are totally stoked to announce the planned workshop of Paloma & Maxi in Salt Lake City! It’s only the 2nd USA tour of the leading Chilean tango couple (pictured to the right during their first-ever visit to North America at ValenTango 2015), but they’ve already toured across Europe, Asia, and Latin America for years. Paloma and Maxi bring with them over 15 years of teaching and performing experience, teaching philosophy focused on the fundamentals of the traditional close-embrace tango, and their amazing warm and attentive personalities. You are guaranteed to remember the day you took classes from them, or met them at the dance floor – mark your calendars , watch the videos from their recent Portland, San Diego, and San Miguel tours, and share our excitement!
