Oliver began dancing Tango in 1997, when he felt he was growing apart from a former girl friend. Inspired by his grandmother Beatriz, an amateur tanguera and singer, Oliver felt that the tango embodied romance, contact and dialogue - the elements of life and relationships. Becoming obsessed with the dance, he began studying with Miguel Angel Zotto, Osvaldo Zotto, Roberto Herrera, Graciela Gonzalez, Carlos Gavito, Carlos Copello, Horacio Godoy, and Luis Solanas. Oliver started teaching in 1999 at "La viruta", a famous tango school and milonga in the city of Buenos Aires, and eventually taught & performed in the most prestigious tango houses and schools around Argentina. Oliver has also produced teaching videos, included those of the famous Mora Godoy. Oliver entered the World tango championship in 2004 with Veronica Palacios winning a spot in the finals. In 2005 Oliver began teaching in New York with Luna Palacios, Veronica's sister. Together they took the city and country by storm, teaching at this yearsÂ’ Valentango Festival in Portland to great reviews. His primary goal is to teach people to feel and dance tango in the way that he was taught, with passion, knowledge, care and more than anything, with TRUTH.
