Performance by David and Kim (www.tangomovement.com)
We are very lucky to have David and Kim dancing for us at the Ball this year. David Benitez of Tango Por Dos and his British partner, Kim Schwartz are
sensational performers who are also renowned for their teaching and choreography skills.
This year, those attending the Tango Cheltenham Ball will be able to see first hand two performers about whom such reviews as these have been written.
"Scorching" - the Sunday Express
David & Kim arrived in London from Buenos Aires less than a year ago, establishing their central London school, Tango Movement, and quickly becoming one of London's most popular tango couples. They trained in Buenos Aires with top maestros and have performed in Buenos Aires shows. David was a cast member of the prestigious Tango Por Dos Company.
"Tango Por dancer David Benitez and his British partner Kim Schwartz delivered stunning foot and legwork, which melded with sensuality and a range of emotions which seemed to far exceed their youth ... underscored by an almost divine connection - to each other as partners, and to the music" Lorna V, Dance Now magazine
