Guest Teachers

Karina and Fabian Conca were born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, amidst a strong family tradition of Tango. They were introduced to Tango from an early age and represent a third generation of tango dancers in their families. Their dance style and teaching have a strong emphasis on elegance while maintaining a constant connection between the partners, reflecting their tradition and culture, rather than a sequence of steps.

Karina and Fabian had been teaching and performing for many years with regular appearances in Buenos Aires and different Tango Festivals around the world.
