Miguel
Cardoso is first generation born in
the United States from Mexican parents.
Miguel was first introduced to tango as
a young child when his grandmother used
to sing and play tangos while she cooked.
This familiarity with the music would later
play an important role in his dancing.
In
early 2002, while listening to tangos
with a friend (and tango dancer), she
suggested to him that since he loved the
music so much that he should try to learn
to dance tango. From that suggestion he
began taking classes and immediately he
fell in love with the sensuality and closeness
of the dance. Soon after, two things became
a focus to his dancing, smoothness and
musicality.
Miguel
concentrates on dancing with close attention
to interpreting and listening to the music
while dancing a smooth and elegant salon
style. Based on this philosophy the great
Orlando Paiva as well as Orlando Paiva
Jr. have been a tremendous influence.
Miriam Larici and Hugo Patyn, Gloria and
Claudio Otero, Omar Vega as well as Yolanda
Rossi have also shaped his dancing.
Miguel
has performed at the 2005 Carlos Gardel
Festival, The Champagne Pops 2005 Concert,
The Long Beach International Dinner and
Cultural Show as well as live production
in 2004 choreographed by Hugo Patyn and
Miriam Larici.
