4 EXTRAORDINARY
Couples
Dancing together since 2012, they’ve built a partnership defined by balance, charisma, and an honest, heartfelt approach to tango. Their artistry has carried them to the biggest festivals in Europe, Asia, and North America, where they captivate audiences with both their performances and their teaching.
Hailing from Argentina, this dynamic duo unites elegance, passion, and powerful artistry on every stage they touch. Carolina brings the refinement of a classical dance background and an award-winning international career, while Octavio adds the depth of a World Tango Championship finalist, renowned performer, and master teacher. Together, they embody the spirit of tango — inspiring, expressive, and unforgettable.
Originally from Catamarca, Argentina, this duo began dancing together as teenagers and soon took the tango world by storm. In 2010, they won the Metropolitan Tango Championship (Tango category) and went on to tour internationally with Miguel Ángel Zotto’s TangoX2. Today, they are celebrated worldwide for their elegant performances and for an integral teaching method that weaves together technique, musicality, and the embrace at the heart of tango.
