Meet Mauricio & Marianne

We are Mauricio Borgarello and Marianne Kuusipalo, tango dancers and teachers based in Geneva. We started dancing together in 2017.

 

We are proud to be known across the region for our kind and gentle way of teaching. We have worked in regional and international tango festivals, tango holidays and workshops in Switzerland, France, Uruguay, Finland, and Turkey.

 

Our regular weekly lessons take place in Geneva, Annemasse, and Aix-les-Bains, and we teach special workshops in the neighbouring regions Thonon-les-Bains, Evian, Annecy, Grenoble, etc.
