Tango that is not for export. Tango that is devoted to the feeling and not the stage. Tango as it is danced hidden under the dimmed lights of the Buenos Aires nights.
Andres started dancing tango at 14 and soon started to perform with the Ballet Zaraza Tango. He won his first prize in the mythical contest “Hugo del Carril” in 2002. In 2004, he was invited to join the “Academia de Estilos de Tango Argentino” (ACETA), also known as a project where the most famous “maestros milongueros from the Golden Age of tango” transmitted their knowledge and experience to the new generation of dancers. In 2004, he worked with Carlos Gavito as an assistant in his classes. His professional tango career started in October 2006 with Samantha Dispari, developing and adopting the “Villa Urquiza” style with the maestros Jorge Dispari and María del Carmen.

Switzerland is famous for being expensive, but it does not have to be. Swiss people are used to living on a budget while caring for the environment. How?
While many of us come from cultures where eating out is a way of living, this is not the case in Switzerland. The Swiss way of getting your stomach happy is to get your food in one of the two big Supermarket chains, Migros or Coop. Whether you prefer a Supermarket restaurant, a prepared meal to be heated up, fresh salads or fruit, the selection is impressive, healthy, and affordable.
If you are feeling romantic, consider indulging yourself with a picnic by the lake.
