Luisa Zini
Tango dancer and organizer
Luisa has been immersed in the world of tango for quite some time, although she never had aspirations to teach. Instead, she found joy in organizing tango events such as milongas and parties, and more recently, festivals.
Her passion for tango led her to assist traveling tango teachers, whom she deeply admires, in organizing workshops in her local communities over the years.
Now residing in Portland, Oregon, Luisa, along with Elizabeth Wartluft, co-hosts a monthly matinee milonga called Las Naifas Milonga. This delightful event takes place every second Friday of the month at Norse Hall, providing a welcoming space for tango enthusiasts to come together and enjoy the dance they love.
