Fernando Sanchez

Fernando Sanchez is a tango dancer. The available sources centre on his work with the dancer Ariadna Naveira, with whom he formed both a personal and a professional partnership. A dancer's own website describes the partnership under the joint name "Ariadna Naveira y Fernando Sanchez – Tango Argentino".

According to that site, Sanchez became Naveira's partner in life in 2007 and began dancing professionally with her in 2008. His early professional steps took place in the show at the Café Tortoni. Later documented appearances with Naveira include the Fiesta X at La Viruta in 2009, Práctica X in 2010 and the A los Amigos festival in Rethymno in 2026. ^[3][4][5]

A video listing also connects Sanchez with a number of other dancers, among them Roxana Suárez, Graciela Gonzalez, Nayla Vacca, Gioia Abballe, Maria Plazaola, Sabrina Veliz, Mariana Montes, Ines Muzzopappa, Vida Lisaite, Santiago Alvarez, Ariel Perez and Federico Naveira.
