Orlando Paiva Jr. and Mariana Melling, both, were born and grew up in a Tango atmosphere, respecting and loving this dance. They have taught and performed in Argentina, Europe, and the USA. Their romantic and elegant style of tango is a hallmark of the Paiva legacy (Orlando's father taught and performed tango for 40 years becoming a legend in his generation, respected by Nito Garcia and by Juan Carlos Copes).
