Teachers and dancers from Russia: Fedor Kvashnin and Olga Kasatkina.
Fedor and Olga have been dancing together for many years, participating in competitions and constantly learning new things from renowned masters.
Together, they not only teach classical Argentine tango but also devote special attention to Canyengue—a free, expressive, and slightly daring form of tango with African roots. Fedor and Olga are confident that Canyengue is free from excessive rigidity; it allows one to play with rhythm, experiment with delivery, and develop one's own style while maintaining respect for tradition.

Maestros Tango Sol
Alejandra Mantignan
Alejandra is one of the few dancers who combines stage experience with a deep understanding of anatomy and biomechanics; she holds a background in medicine and has developed her own pedagogical method, ATM, which helps students better understand movement mechanics and refine their technique across all tango styles.
Alejandra Mantiñán is a dancer and instructor with over 30 years of experience in Argentine tango. She began dancing in childhood and discovered tango at the age of 18, studying under Carlos Copes and Antonio Todaro. For eight years, she was the principal dancer in the show Tango Passion, performing in more than 360 cities worldwide, including on Broadway and at major European theaters.

Leandro Gómez
Leandro Gomez represents a new generation of Argentine dancers who grew up within this revitalized tango culture. His style is characterized by a gentle lead, an attentive embrace, and clear, natural movement dynamics. His dancing blends solid technical foundations, musicality, and a lively dialogue between partners.
Leandro actively teaches and performs at international festivals, where he is valued for his clear teaching methodology, attention to detail, and ability to explain complex concepts in simple, accessible language.

Bruno Tombari
An Argentine tango dancer from Buenos Aires, he grew up in the Villa Ortúzar neighborhood. A *milonguero*, instructor, and traveler, he embodies the living culture of a city where tango is not merely a dance, but a way of feeling and being.
He was raised in a family of musicians—among pianists and opera singers—yet there were no dancers. It was his father who introduced him to the world of tango: a realm of embraces, subtle improvisation, and sincere dialogue. Over time, this world became everything to Bruno—his profession, his passion, and the path he walks, meeting people and discovering new cities along the way.
Bruno calls tango "an adult's game." His dance is free of tension and anything superfluous—there is only freedom, comfort, and a deep connection with his partner and the music. He strives for a state where all the unnecessary falls away, leaving only movement, breath, and the "here and now."

Rocío Lequio
For this instructor, tango has become not merely a profession, but a way of living and feeling. She grew up in the western part of Greater Buenos Aires and moved to the city center at the age of 18 to dedicate herself fully to dance.
In her classes, she fosters an atmosphere of lightness and playfulness. Her sessions are built around exercises designed to help students relax, feel at ease while dancing, and unlock their natural receptivity. For her, music is not just background accompaniment but a primary guide: it sets the rhythm, establishes the "rules of the game," and unites the partners.
Rocío places special emphasis on working with time, weight, and space, helping students move more freely and with less effort. Her approach teaches them not to fear improvisation, to be present in the moment, and to transform every dance into a living, creative dialogue.

Fyodor Kashnin
Fyodor is a dancer and instructor who believes that tango begins not with steps, but with a dialogue. He has been dancing since 2013 and sharing his knowledge with students since 2017, helping them discover their own unique voice in the dance. He began his journey at "Planetango" under Alexander Cherenkov and has since continued to develop his skills by training with world-renowned maestros such as Ruben and Sabrina Véliz, Chicho Frumboli, Carlos Espinoza, Alejandra Mantiñán, Sebastián Arce, and others.
Partnered with Olga Kasatkina, Fyodor is a prize-winner and finalist in both Russian and international competitions, including the Russian Argentine Tango Championship, the World Cup Argentine Tango, the Social Tango Cup, and other major tournaments. Their dancing is characterized by a blend of precision, musicality, and dynamic interaction.
