Biography
KARINA
and FABIAN were born and raised in Buenos Aires Argentina, amidst steep
family tradition of tango, and they were introduced to the dance
through their families from the early age and represent a third
generation of tango dancers.
They learned their ‘first steps’ from Fabian’s parents, Orlando and Marta Conca, respected milongueros themselves, and were later absorbed by the milonguero style of Tango Master and great milonguero Carlos Gavito. With Gavito, Karina and Fabian found the gateway to express their feelings through the dance.
The
milonguero style is danced in close embrace with a constant connection
between the partners. In this milonguero style lives a true spirit of
tango where the dance blends feelings between a man and a woman... like
a silent dialogue of music and romance.
Their teaching has a strong emphasis on this style, and focuses on elegance, romanticism and sensuality; reflecting their tradition and culture, rather than a sequence of steps. After promoting this style in Sydney for several years, Karina and Fabian have now undertaken an initiative to promote this style across the country.
