LUCAS MOLINA GAZCON
… has been dancing Tango since the age of 12. He is a 4-time champion of the Torneos Juveniles Bonaerenses (the first time he won the first prize he was only 13). Lucas has taught and performed in variousmilongas of Buenos Aires as well as in festivals around the world such as C.I.T.A, Venecia Tango Festival, Riga Tango Festival, Pulpo’s Tangoweek, and ExpoShanghai, just to name a few, and had visited many cities worldwide teaching workshops.
Currently Lucas organizes El Yeite Tango Club practica that has quickly become one of the best practicas of Tango Argentino in Buenos Aires.Lucas is thankful to many teachers for his passion of tango as well as for the knowledge they have passed onto him — Juan Carlos Copes, Mingo & Esther Pugliese, Amelio, Gustavo Naveira and Olga Bessio; Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne and Mariano ChichoFrumbolli.
Lucas had performed in some of the most renown tango movies, such as Evita by Allan Parker with Madonna and Antonio Banderas, The Tango Lesson by Sally Potter with Pablo Veron, Gustavo Naveira, and Fabian Salas, Tango by Carlos Saura with Juan Carlos Copes, Carlos Rivarola and Julio Bocca. Besides performing on stage, Lucas is a milonguero in the true meaning of this word — you can see him in all Buenos Aires milongas dancing the nights away. He has been a key figure in such famous places as Cochabamba 444, Salon Canning, La Viruta, and Porteño y Bailari’n, among others.
