Juan Martín Carrara and Stefanía Colina
Juan Martín and Stefanía are Tango Salón teachers, dancers and Choreographers. They won the 2009 Intercontinental Tango Salón Championship and Uruguayan Tango Salón Championship in 2012. Young, extremely talented and diligent, they dance with an immense respect for the tradition and the music, and yet keep working on new forms of expression and their own development in the salon and on the stage.
Juan Martin Carrara started his dancing career when he was 13 years old as a ballet and contemporary dancer and an actor of musical comedy. At the age of 16 he entered in the Nacional Academy of Dance of Uruguay and was selected for the “Young Ballet”, touring all the theatres of the region as a performer of modern and clasic Ballet. After a few years he met with tango and at the same time with Stefanía Colina, and fell in love with both.
Stefania Colina started her career as a ballet and contemporary dancer in the “Orlama” School at the age of 4 year-old. She graduated at 17, after 13 years of intense training and became a teacher of the school. During that time she had the opportunity to experience many dance styles that were taught as a complement to ballet, that is how she met with tango and Juan Martin, and from that day started a passionate life-changing story for both of them.
Together they left all they had in Uruguay and moved almost immediately to Buenos Aires with nothing more than their intense desire to dance and teach tango. Being extremely popular teachers in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Europe, Korea etc, their classes allow one to hear and feel what is most intangible in tango. They are known for their successful and engaging teaching method. Their exquisite musicality, charm, elegance and sensuality have won them many hearts in all over the globe.
