Los Angeles Wine Tasting, Hotel Normandie and Makela Tango invite you to Buenos Aires for an evening of mingling, dancing and dining. Wines from Argentina and food by Top Chef & Robuchon alumni Elia Aboumrad will be served during the soirée.
Dancing will be hosted by Makela Brizuela, one of Los Angeles tango community’s most respected performers, teachers and choreographers. Founder and director of Makela Tango School (since 2000), Makela was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, graduating from the National School of Ballet of Argentina. She directed the critically acclaimed “Urban Tango” in Los Angeles (2006/7) and choreographed “Camila, the Musical” for SMC, “Dance in Fight” at Pepperdine University, “Tango Cabaret” at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach and “Sueño Azul” at the Electric Lodge 2103. Makela’s performance credits include “Tango Nuevo Cabaret” at the Ford Amphitheater and “Cabaret Tango” at the Downey Theater. She performed at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater), the Alex Theater and the Ricardo Montalban Theater. She appeared many times on TV (i.e. Univision) and was featured in many films. She is also an official judge for the San Francisco competition branch of the Official World Argentine Tango Championship in Buenos Aires (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2017). Watch this inspiring video of what her students have to say.

After a multi-million dollar restoration, essentially crowdfunded, “nothing says ‘rebirth’ like a boutiquey historic hotel saved from a trashy, stucco-y fate”, Curbed Los Angeles.
