In June 23rd 2000 Oscar and Roxana met for the very first time at Plaza Mayor while performing for the Stella Milanos Show New Age Tango. This was the beginning of a very important chain of events in the Tango and Folklore scene in Miami.

They always were (and of course, they still are) the Directors and the main Tango Dancers of the Company. The characteristic of this company is that the dancers where all students at the Tango Times Dance School therefore, they were trained to dance not only social tango but also stage tango.

The Leit Motiv of the shows would be The Streets of Buenos Aires, and that was the name of the first show. It was a Dinner Tango Show held at Las Copas on The Beach in Miami Beach on May 30th 2003.
