Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo

Artists of performance and teaching

Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo are verifiably one of the most prominent couples in the world of Argentine Tango. They are renowned for their style, interpretation, choreography, command of the stage and clear teaching technique. They have a unique quality to convey to their audience and their students the scope of tango emotions from intense passion to the comic.

Individually or as couple, the dynamic talent and achievements of Fernanda and Guillermo are the result of many years of study, preparation and dedication. Although already studying to have a career in classical ballet and modern dance, Fernanda began dancing Tango at the tender age of 13. Soon her passion for Argentine Tango superceded her other professional goals.

On the stage dancing Argentine Folklorico and modern dance, Guillermo was only 12 when he encountered Tango. Not destined to meet for another ten years, Fernanda and Guillermo already had in common an intense need and desire to dance Tango.

The couple has opened shows in Miami, Israel, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Tokyo. In recognition of their superb artistry, they were invited to perform in concert with the New Mexico Symphony and teh Long Beach Symphony orchestras in 2003.
