More Sparkling Tango in Cambridge
by Tangueando:
In our continuing devotion to enriching tango in Cambridge and bringing the Argentine tango culture to the East of England and especially the Cambridge tango scene, Tangueando arranged a visit in Cambridge of this vibrant couple of Professional Argentinian Dancers, who were crowned triple champions at the Metropolitan Championship in Buenos Aires in 2013.
Have a look at their background and some of the videos we selected for you.
This event concluded the Spring/Summer season on Tango in Cambridge by Tangueando.net. More tango after the summer holidays!

Jimena Hoeffner was born in Buenos Aires. She started studying tango in 1999 and in 2004 she joined the dance academy "Academia de Estilos de Tango Argentino" (ACETA). She went on to complement her dance with disciplines such as classical ballet and contemporary dance.
Jimena worked on numerous tango companies and shows such as Taconeando, Esquina Carlos Gardel, Bien de Tango, Catulo Tango and others. Jimena is teaching tango in Buenos Aires, Europe and around the world since 2010.
Fernando Carrasco was born in Rawson, Chubut province and moved to Buenos Aires ro study folklore dances, specialising in tango at the "Instituto Universitario de Arte" (IUNA).
Jimena & Fernando started dancing together in 2012 and in 2013 they were the first couple ever to become triple champions at the Metropolitan Championship of Tango of the city of Buenos Aires, in all three categories: Tango, Milonga and Vals.
Jimena & Fernando are known for the warmth and elegance of their embrace and for treasuring the fundamental sentiments of what is tango, that they transmit through their teaching and their dynamic dance.
