Carla Rossi:
Argentinean folklore dancer and “milonguera”, Carla comes from a tango family through her father, a tango singer. Despite her young age she is a woman of character, with a particular virtuosity that makes each musical note sound with her legs and feet.
She began her tango journey several years ago, adopting tango as a lifestyle and growing up in the most prestigious tango houses, like guided by major salon and milonguero figures.
Carla dazzles with her dance style in Buenos Aires’ most famous Milongas such as Sunderland Club, Porteño y Bailarin, Gricel, Yira Yira. She is considered as a dancer at heart, wishing to convey the flavour of musical, intimate, subtle and elegant dancer. Her love for the tango arose many years ago. For her, dancing is not a profession but a choice, a way to give her soul away, fed everyday by the tango melodies she listen to.

Santiago Castro:
Santiago is a true “Milonguero” Tango dancer. He is known not only for his elegance, precision and musicality in his dance style, but also for his methodology and pedagogical skills, constantly endeavouring to study more and more, and with a very versatile character that comes as a consequence of his passage through different tango styles, passion, dedication and respect for Argentinean Tango.
Santiago combines tango dance improvisation playing with the elegance of the ballroom style and the flavour of the milonguero style. He is faithful and devoted to the kind of tango he believes is the authentic tango, i.e. the kind of tango which emphasizes the embrace, walking, music, the feeling, respect and codes. He not only nurtures his students to help them to become better dancers technically and aesthetically, but he also inspires them so that they can feel and understand tango not only as a dance, but as an attitude and a way of life.
Educated as an Architectural Draughtsman and Graphic Designer, Santiago keeps choosing tango as a profession and life philosophy. He is known for his charisma, professionalism, and creativity. He considers himself as a tango intellectual for his versatility and his fanaticism for new things or insatiable quest for body movements, inspired by his knowledge of all other dance styles. After 15 years in the tango world, his dancing is the result of a journey made of two basic ingredients: the passion for dancing and the love for teaching.
