Tireless researcher and maestro, remarkable dancer and connoisseur
of the  secrets of tango, Fabián Salas has brought light to old
beliefs and  opened new ways in the conception of the dance,
creating an unmistakable  style of dancing the Tango. He is the
vertebral column of COSMOTANGO®.

He is acclaimed as a teacher and performer by tango lovers around
the world.  Fabián was a member of the original cast (1994-1995)
of the award-winning (Best Musical) Argentine Tango show "Gotán",
and also performed in the stage show "El Patio de la Morocha"
(1993-1994) at the "Teatro Municipal General San Martin" in Buenos
Aires. In 1997, he became one of the three principal dancers in
the award-winning movie "The Tango Lesson". Fabián Salas is the
principal organizer and director of the Congreso Internacional
de Tango Argentino (C.I.T.A.), the world's most important annual
event, which brings together in Buenos Aires all the tango lovers
and the most representative artists of Argentine Tango.

Lola Díaz started dancing at the age of 5. At age 7, she joined
the school of Teatro Colon, where she studied classical ballet and
became part of the permanent staff at the theatre. She performed
ballet under the direction of the world renowned dancer Julio
Bocca. In addition to Ballet, her dance studies expanded to
Jazz, Modern and Tango. As a tango dancer, though very young,
she participated in a number of important productions:

* Pablo Verón's principal partner and choreography assistant for
