CURRICULUM VILMA VEGA _  
     
Vilma Vega  

Fernando and Vilma each pursued their own careers in dance: in folklore, contemporary, classical dance etc.

Together they embraced tango and learned with the great professionals. In particular they learned by watching those unknown dancers who, although they do not give classes, never stop teaching: the old milongueros of the 1950s.
