About carolina y donato
Carolina del Rivero started dancing at the age of 6, and throughout her career she has practiced different dances. She studied ballet at the world-famous Teatro Colon (the most renowned opera house in Latin America) and later Modern Dance at the famous Taller de Danza Contemporanea del Teatro San Martin. She discovered the tango in 1995, and since 2000 Carolina travels around the world giving workshops and exhibitions. She took part as a master teacher and dancer in the Congreso Internacional de Tango Argentino (CITA) – the world largest annual tango event that takes place in Buenos Aires every March- since 2001 until 2014.
Applying her artistic knowledge from other dances, she brings to tango, style and elegance, as well as a profound understanding of the technique and dynamics of the dance, and also of the woman’s role in it. She is one of the most renowned master teachers and performers in the world of Argentine tango.
Donato Juárez is one of the most talented of the new generation of tango dancers in Argentina. Musical, elegant, precise, driven, Donato teaches tango as he dances it: with energy, passion and sensitivity. From his hometown of Mar del Plata in Argentina, he has been part of a group of enthusiastic young dancers that has continued to tirelessly explore the intricacies of this dance. He has studied with many renowned teachers who were quick to notice his impressive technical skills.
Donato has been invited to international tango festivals in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Europe (Iceland, Italy, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Greece, Switzerland, Finland), and Mexico and has performed in many theaters in Argentina. He has been invited to perform, with Cecilia Gonzalez, in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 International Argentine Tango Congresses (CITA) in Buenos Aires, since 2009 until 2014 he also took part as a master teacher with Carolina.
We can perfectly state that Carolina and Donato bring together through their dance union of technical and interpretive quality, where the musicality, the elegance and the precision of their dance demonstrate a strong originality.
They transmit as well sensitivity, energy and passion for the education of this dance, what makes them dancers and teachers of artistic talent, clearly perceived in the atmosphere of those that have the opportunity to see them.

About Lucas and Judit:
Judit, born in Budapest, was trained in a country where tango has just appeared, in a continent conquered by this dance but still far from its origins. Driven by her passion for the dance, she has been visiting Buenos Aires over and over again. While living there, she learnt the language as a side effect of the constant improvement of her dancing skills.
Lucas, son of a family of artists and dancers, started to dance at the age of 12 with his sister Monica Molina Gazcon in Buenos Aires. He was trained by the most renowned masters and he won numerous competitions. He was invited to Europe, the U.S. and China, performed in some of the most famous tango movies, like 'Evita', 'The Tango Lesson' or Carlos Saura's 'Tango'.
Judit, in the meantime in Budapest, got opportunities to perform at such prominent venues as the National Dance Theatre or the Opera House. She founded her own school, and has been touring around Europe for a couple of years.
Lucas has been working with partners like Ariadna Naveira, Soledad Larretapia, Vanessa Fatauros, Natalia Cristobal, Cecilia Piccini, Melina Sol Greco, performed in C.I.T.A, Buenos Aires, and was invited to various festivals in Europe.
2014 was the year when Lucas and Judit finally met and had their first but definitely not last dance together in Buenos Aires. By that year he had 22 years experience in tango and Judit had been dancing for 14 years.
After a little while they decided to work together to transmit the spirit and knowledge accumulated by the vibrant energy born between them.
From 2014 they will pass on all the experience they lived through individually and what they’ve transformed into a whole new universe by connecting their expertise and passion for Argentine tango.
