About Carolina & Ricardo
Carolina del Rivero started dancing at the age of 6; and throughout her career has mastered many different dances. She studied ballet at the most renowned opera house in Latin America, the world-famous Teatro Colon. She later studied modern dance at the famous “Taller de Danza Contemporánea del Teatro San Martin.”
Carolina discovered tango in 1995, and since the year 2000 Carolina has traveled around the world giving workshops and exhibitions, including in the USA, Europe, South America, Central America, and Asia. From 2000 until the present day, Carolina has been consistently sought after to be a teacher and performer in many renowned Tango Festivals throughout the USA, Europe and Canada.
She participated as a master teacher and dancer in the “Congreso Internacional de Tango Argentino” (C.I.T.A) -the world’s largest annual tango event that takes place in Buenos Aires, from 2001 until 2014. Carolina and Ricardo have performed and taught together at C.I.T.A. since 2024.
Applying all her artistic knowledge from other dances, Carolina brings to tango style and elegance. She has a profound understanding of the technique and dynamics of the dance, and also of the woman’s role in it, which she powerfully transmits to her students.
Most recently, Carolina has practiced and studied the Feldenkrais Method, a technique of Awareness through Movement. Feldenkrais allows us to understand how to use our bodies’ movements without effort. She graduated as a Feldenkrais Practitioner in 2020. she currently gives classes and workshops on the Method, as well as integrates Feldenkrais with Tango in different seminars in Argentina and around the world; to great effect and feedback on her students.
Ricardo Biggeri is an Argentine tango dancer, teacher, choreographer and DJ. He has studied with well-known teachers of different styles of tango to further his own vision of the dance.
Ricardo began his professional career in 2000, and for the next 8 years, taught 10 classes a week and held many exhibitions at La Viruta Tango, the most famous and popular place for tango at that time. He worked with highly experienced colleagues to continue to hone his teaching methods.
In 2006, he began working in different festivals nationally and in 2007, started touring internationally, teaching and performing shows at workshops and festivals in Canada, the United States, and throughout Europe. At the same time, Ricardo remained active in the Buenos Aires tango scene teaching regular classes.
Ricardo combines the traditional and contemporary concepts creating a style recognized for its connection, musicality, elegance and dynamics. As a teacher, Ricardo has an uncanny ability to break down movements and their techniques, finding a simple and fun way to get to the most complex sequences.
He had DJ’d in many Milonga and Festivals in Buenos Aires, Europe and the United States.
