About Julio and Corina:
Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa are the highly respected teachers in
Buenos Aires of the "milongueros" (social tango dancers), specializing in
"Tango Waltz" and "Tango Salón". Stars of Forever Tango, they have earned
a sustained respect for the elegance of their movements and musicality.
Julio is the son of the legendary Miguel Balmaceda, a milonguero of the
Golden Era, who taught many well-known dancers, and who is fondly
remembered today for being one of the firsts to begin to teach tango again
after the political change of 1983. Julio learned the tango from his
father and took over his classes after Miguel died in 1991. Julio teaches
at the most prestigious tango schools in Bs. As.: "Canning", "Grisel", "El
Parakultural", "Almagro", and "La Galeria del Tango". Today Julio has the
honor of being considered one of the youngest "milongueros" in Buenos Aires.
Corina began dancing at the age of 6. She graduated from the National
Institute of Dance in Argentina before making her debut teaching classical
dance. At the age of 23, she devoted herself to improving her tango skills
and learning the secrets of its culture by dancing with the best old
"milongueros".
Since 1996 they have been performing and teaching together all over the world:
1996 - Julio and Corina conducted classes in prestigious dance halls such
as "Gricel", "Club Almagro" and "La Galería del Tango Argentino".
1997 - Conducted group classes at "La Galería del Tango Argentino" and
"Club Almagro" and performed at the "Palais de Glace" in a Tango
exhibition. They taught and performed in Graz (Austria), Amsterdam and
Groningen (Holland), London (UK) and Hamburg (Germany). Shows & Festivals:
They participate in a tour of 13 Italian cities being the first couple of
the "Nueva Compañía Tangueros" show with the "Color Tango" Orchestra.
1998 - 1999 - Julio & Corina conducted group classes in Buenos Aires at "La
Galería del Tango Argentino" and "Club Almagro" and special waltz seminars
in various locations throughout Buenos Aires. They taught workshops and
classes in Río de Janeiro (Brazil), Basel and Lausanne (Switzerland), Graz
