GET TO KNOW OUR GUESTS:

Rino and Graziella met in 2010 and they started dancing together at the end of the year with the clear aim to create a stable couple to consolidate their qualitative and personal growth in Tango. After dancing other dances like ballroom at a Professional level , they decided to dance Tango to enjoy of a greater ( superior ) interpretative freedom of music and movement. The discipline and training learned from other dances have constantly led the to deepen the basic technical elements and to research a defined and recognizable teaching method. After a two years preparatory course of ballet , at the age of five , Graziella dedicate herself to synchronized swimming , winning numerous championships.

He competed in England , Austria , Belgium , Poland , Russia , Lithuania and Spain winning numerous competitions. He became a professional and also a Fids specialist , leaving contests to become a judge.Exactly during a competition he met Graziella , creating a couple in life and then in Tango.
