  DANA Frigoli, a multifaceted and sensitive artist, is known to the world through her extensive and intense career. She studied at the National Theatre School and worked for prominent companies as a performer and choreographer.In 2005, she founded DNI Tango with Pablo Villaraza and promote a dynamic tango, natural, beautiful and which lives by sensuality and mixes sensations without limits.  TTC (Tango Technology Concept), a unique technique she created to allow dancers to find a way to develop their own tango, understanding how opposite energies function in their own body to get in perfect gear with each other through this inner knowledge.  DNI has quickly turned to an internationally well-known tango school, company, and shop with its own identity. 
2012 DNI world tour starts in May and Hong Kong is very privileged to have her and Juan here for one week. In addition to giving 8 workshops, Dana & Juan are conducting for the first time an Intensive Teachers' Training Program here in Asia. DNI Tango has trained numerous numbers of tango teachers and is recognized worldwide for their excellent teaching group. 

 Juan Alba grew up in San Antonio de Padua, an hour from BsAs, discovered martial arts at the age of 17; specifically Judo and Aikido.  He began to take dance classes later as a matter of chance, and more an excuse to hang out with his friends. For several years he and his friends took what they had learnt and traveled to interior provinces of Argentina to teach.  Even though he never imagine doing it professionally, the feeling he had standing in front of a group of people transmitting the joy of dancing carried him to continue his search.
In 2008, he first entered DNI as a student; a meeting so impressive for Juan that after 11 years of studying and a brown belt holder, he decided to put a brake on martial arts and commit to teaching and continuous learning at DNI.
