*NELSON AVILA AND MADALYN KLEIN

Nelson, originally from Argentina has toured and performed all over the world.  He lives in New York with his wife/partner Madalyn Klein ---  they are in demand, performing and teaching Tango.   In addition, Nelson is scheduled to be a judge in this summer's Tango Festival in New York City.

 

Nelson Avila has been named a member of the National Academy of Tango of Argentina and is recognized as an authority on Tango. He was in the original cast of the world-renowned Broadway show, "Tango Argentino" and recently completed an international tour with the hit show "Forever Tango".

 

Nelson has danced for Princess Diana, taught Robert Duval to Tango and, in fact, was best man at his wedding. He also taught the choreographer who taught Al Pacino to dance the Tango in the movie "A Scent of a Woman".

 

Nelson also appeared in and worked with Raul Julia in the movie "Tango Bar". The Argentine government selected Nelson to choreograph the Argentine presentation at "Expo Sevilla 1992", in Spain.

 

In 1993, Nelson produced, choreographed and performed his show, "Buenos Aires...Tango" in many cities, including the Lincoln Center, in New York.

 

In the USA, he has danced in more than 59 cities and is now scheduled to dance and conduct a workshop in Knoxville, Tennessee.
