Neville started dancing tango in 1998 and teaching in 2001. He shared his time for over 14 years between Buenos Aires and New Zealand and has given workshops in New Zealand, Australia, Latvia, Israel, South Africa and the USA.
NZ social Tango champion in 2006 and 2007 and represented New Zealand at the World Tango Competition in those years.
​
Aleece has been dancing since 2006 and with Neville has won the New Zealand Milonga Competition in 2007. She started teaching with Neville soon after.
​
They have been amongst others mostly influenced by Maria Plazaola and Alicia Pons.

Craig & Regine Barkwith's hearts were captured by Argentine Tango in 2006. At that time they were living in Palmerston North and studying ballroom dancing and various latin rhythms, but after a basic tango course, fell in love with the tango and the music. 
They moved to Wellington in 2007 and began with classes taught by Neville, and then joined the Tango del Alma teaching team in 2013.
They have travelled to Buenos Aires multiple times, and their dancing style is very indicative of their time spent studying under Alicia Pons.
Their love of travel has been combined with their deep passion for tango and they always include tango events in their itinerary.

Tess has always loved dancing,  starting  jazz ballet as a teenager progressing to salsa and tango in the salon style in 1998. Neville inspired her to start close embrace tango in 2014 and after a 10 year break has found her passion. "Tango is a  such a beautiful graceful expression and way to communicate with another person in an extraordinary way."

Mike started dancing in 2013 and has a very smooth style with great musicality and a real feel for the music and the connection with his partner. He has a great understanding of what this style of tango is about.
