4 EXTRAORDINARY
Couples
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.
