ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Carolina del Rivero started dancing at the age of six, and
throughout her career she has practiced different dancing
techniques. She studied ballet at the world-famous "Teatro
Colon" (the most renowned opera house in Latin America)
and later modern dance at the famous “Taller de Danza
Contemporanea del Teatro San Martin”. She discovered
tango in 1995 and it was instant love. In 2000 Carolina
was already traveling around the world conducting workshops
and exhibitions.
She participated as a master teacher and dancer in
the “Congreso Internacional de Tango Argentino”
(C.I.T.A) from 2001 to 2014. (C.I.T.A. is the largest
annual tango event in the world and takes place in Buenos
Aires every March.)
