ABOUT US

Argentine Tango is a dance of passion, sensuality and elegance as well as technique and precision of movements. Tango dancers at any skill level are well aware of the importance of wearing quality  shoes which grant the appropriate comfort and stability: not  a mere accessory but an essential tool .

My name is Claudia Mauriaca, I love tango and beautiful things.

The brand Alagalomi originates from my desire of creating a line of dance shoes, new and colourful , which would fulfill at the same time the need for comfort and stability that are the essential features of  technical footwear.

I love to work on each Alagalomi model personally: I match colours,  choose leather and shoe components accurately and  leave the task of the final realisation to selected Italian masters in the art of shoemaking. The end product we obtain is manufactured and refined with the great care and the elegant taste for which made in Italy shoes are renowned worldwide.

My team and I will be pleased to assist you with competence and reliability,  as we understand the importance  of finding more than a  perfectly fitting pair of  shoes. Since we are well aware that our customers seek  a unique combination of colour, originality and style, we offer the widest range of customizations: functional and esthetic details  - such as size, plant, heel, or colour and type of leather – can be realised relatively quickly .

Today, a growing number of dancers chooses Alagalomi  and a growing number of dealers sells our shoes in Italy and abroad.

To give all  customers the opportunity to see our collections and try on Alagalomi dance shoes, we moved from the historical headquarters of La Maquina Tanguera in Rimini to a nearby Showroom in Miramare. This brand new exhibition space can be easily reached by car.

 Come and visit me!

Regina Tango Shoes is a project spawned from the passion for shoes and the long experience of Eva Nataraja as a stylist in Paris, Spain, Germany, Italy and as an Argentinetango dancer, devotee and organizer of milongas in Rimini, Riccione, Italy, and Buenos Aires.
At first, Eva created tango shoes for herself and her friends, due to the lack of glamor in those Italian quality porteñe shoes and especially the lack of comfort in tango or traditional dance shoes.

In 2007, Eva decided to specialize in producing handmade shoes, first under the brand Bandolera tango shoes, then under the brand Regina Tango Shoes, combining quality, passion, elegance and comfort.

These many aspects allow Regina Tango Shoes customers to have upscale tango shoes in terms of comfort, style and safety while dancing. Eva Nataraja Stylist  

Graduated, at first, as a Master of Art and, then, studied to become a fashion designer, has worked for 12 years in fashion with top-ranked names such as:

• Jean Paul Gaultier
• Martin Margela
• Hugo Boss,
• Custo Barcellona,
• Etro
• Krizia
• Soprani
• Jil Sander
• Joop
• Ricci Capricci
  

and "Nataraja's BeachWear".
She has designed and produced the Tango footwear collection Bandolera from 2008 to 2010.

Eva is first exposed to dance at 6 years old with classical dance then with modern, jazz, latin and oriental dance and, finally, the Argentine tango. She went on and delved deeper into the study of this art (world heritage) with maestros such as: 

• Pablo Villaraza e Dana Frigoli
• Alejandro Larenas e Marisol Morales
• Chicho Frumboli e Juana Sepulveda
• Adrian Ferreira, Gabriel Glacovsky
• Leandro Gomez e Juliy Hurruty
• Osvaldo Zotto e M.Gisele Avanzi
• Claudio Forte e Barbara Carpino
• Josè Halfon e Virginia Cutillo
• Murat e Michelle
• Cristina Cortès
• Gaston Torelli e Noelia Hurtado
• Mario Consiglieri e Eugenia Parrilla.

She has danced in many milongas, festivals and in various Italian cities, but the constant exploration in the "Dance", the oldest of the arts, will last forever because it is part of her joy of living ... which accompanies her, in parallel to her work as a fashion designer!
