Val & Leo

Valentina Massari and Leonardo Pankow are tango artists based between Buenos Aires and Tokyo, recognized for a dance style that is elegant, fluid, and beautifully precise. Finalists in the Tango Mundial and 2024 Vals Champions at the City Metropolitan Championship, they have appeared at festivals across China and Europe.

They have taught extensively around the world, including in Australia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Sweden, France, Germany, and Canada. Valentina is also the co-organizer of the renowned Pipi Cucú milonga in Buenos Aires, and Leonardo has performed in the prestigious tango stage production Arrabal.

Their teaching is engaging and deeply attentive to the individual dancer, guiding students toward a tango that feels more personal, natural, and authentically their own.
