Moira Castellano returns to Hong Kong this year since her first visit to the city in 2013 with her previous partner, Gaston Torelli. Moira has an extensive dance background going back to her childhood, when she studied ballet and modern dance. She discovered tango in 1996, and have studied with Vanina Bilous and Roberto Herrera, Natalia Games and Gabriel Angio, Fabian Salas, Gustavo Naveira, among others. For seven years she has worked for a dance company in Paris in productions incorporating tango, theatre and modern dance. After partnering with Pablo Inza for a few years, in 2008 she began her partnership with Gaston Torelli, with whom she traveled all over the world to teach and perform. Together, they organized the Misterio Tango Festival, one of the most important tango events held yearly in Buenos Aires. Moira is currently one of the references in the tango pedagogy, where she focuses on basic concepts, body conditioning, connection and sensibility. She is known for the quality of movement in her dance, in which she projects elegance, personality, tradition, and innovation.
