A special Argentine guest couple, currently based in Italy, Marcela Szurkalo and Eduardo Moyano, joined us for the evening. Visit our photo gallery for photographs of Marcela and Eduardo performing.

Marcela Szurkalo

Dancer, singer and choreographer

Marcela started to dance when she was five, in her native city of Buenos Aires. She initially studied Argentine folkloric dances, for 20 years, including a skillful dance with 'bolas'. If you do not know anything about bolas, see an example in this youTube video, in this Pampas Devils show representing a collage of Argentine culture. Marcela went on to dance classical Ballet, contemporary dance and Tango.

She studied with many great masters, including the famous Mingo and Esther Pugliese. She took part in many dance formations in Argentina, including National folkloric Ballet, Ballet Brandson and New Argentine Ballet Company. She has toured the world, dancing and teaching Tango.
