Both went similar ways, however on two different continents. They both received a classical and modern dance education. Their love and enthusiasm for the tango lead them to the milongas (traditional tango clubs) of Buenos Aires, where they met each other. Both studied with renowned masters of Tango, like Gustavo Naveira, Pablo Veron and Graciela González. Today they travel to different cities of Europe with a tango show and pass on their passion for the tango in their teaching.
