2024 ASTF Festival Maestros

Ariadna Naveira and Fernando Sanchez decided to form a couple in life first in 2007 and in 2008 they began their stage together as a professional dance partner. His first steps were in the tango show at the mythical Café Tortoni, led by Flavio Catuara. Then came the exhibitions in the most emblematic porteño milongas such as Salón Canning, La Viruta, Sunderland, thus giving clear recognition to the new duo. Quickly, a year after starting this journey together, they became part of the international scene participating in the most prestigious festivals, visiting more than 40 countries and hundreds of cities.

Time and hard work led them to create their first theatrical show “La Evasión – dream or reality” with a group of dancers and friends (Martín Maldonado, Maurizio Ghella, Cecilia Capello, and Diego Amorín). The music was in charge of the Moscow Tango Orchestra and they performed in Buenos Aires with 4 full-room performances in Paseo La Plaza, to then tour China, Denmark, and France.

They have developed several seminars that approach dance from a structural and functional place and that served hundreds of couples who today use their method and knowledge. They are highly recognized for their stamp and personality not only by the common or demanding public but also by their colleagues.

Fernando’s other great project together with Jorge Vacca, Dj and Argentine journalist, was the development of a new magazine that they called METAFIERRO (www.metafierro.com). The most important characters, representatives of music, literature, dance, collaborate in it, giving the world of Tango a young and avant-garde look that aims to relaunch it without abandoning its roots.

Their Dance

Ariadna & Fernando maintain a deep look with which they approach the essence of Tango without falling into the canons of dance or existing stereotypes, exerting great influence on those who enter this world and those who already belong to it.

Ariadna & Fernando are in all their essence and in a deep and encompassing way, simply Tango.
