Marcos Ayala is a world champion tango dancer, director, choreographer, and dancer. He is one of the greatest artists on the national and international tango scene. Marcos masterfully combines the traditional language of tango with contemporary artistic trends.

 

Awards and prizes: World Tango Champion (Japan, 2006) and “Authentic Tango Revelation” for his leading role in the musical “Chantecler Tango” (Argentina, 2012-2014, and France, 2013), “Latin Ace Awards” (New York, 2015).

 

As noted by the renowned magazine Caras Argentina, Marcos Ayala has become a “world authority on Argentine tango” thanks to his dedication to tango and his unique, energetic style, which has received widespread international acclaim.

 

His troupe's performances tour around the world, appearing on major international stages and winning prestigious awards and sincere applause from audiences.

 

From Buenos Aires to Harlem, from the 1920s to the 1930s: the show transports audiences to a golden age when music and dance became the voices of freedom, individuality, and celebration. A vivid musical and choreographic journey through the era of swing, big bands, underground clubs, tango canyon, and milongas. 

 

Dance becomes history, memory is awakened with every step, and rhythm sounds like the voice of freedom—through musical style, clothing, and customs, the artists reveal the spirit of dance, its sensuality and charisma.

 

Original costumes, designed specifically for each piece with unique and innovative details and accessories, are part of the magical atmosphere created by the stage sets, accompanied by expressive lighting, giving a unique and individual touch. The sultry rhythms and elegance of the highly professional dancers captivate the audience with their passionate energy: it is a dance of constant movement, in which men in tuxedos and patent leather shoes and women in high heels and luxurious dresses paint a complex, mesmerizing pattern.

 

The group, created by Marcos Ayala in 2012 in Buenos Aires, was born out of the need to keep tango alive, with a view to its evolution and fusion with other art forms, but also with a very personal vision.

 

Tango is a dance that connects eras, cultures, and hearts!
