TANGO DANCER / TEACHER / ORGANIZER
Born in Rosario, Argentina, Mariano’s love of music and movement as selfexpression
began with studies in music theory and contemporary and latin
dance. As a teenager, Mariano was introduced to tango through the milongas
of Rosario, which gave him a deep sense of the traditions of tango as
expression of culture. Today, Mariano’s teaching style focuses on honoring
and preserving these traditions of the dance, as well as developing
techniques for organic movement. As a musician himself, Mariano integrates
musicality into even the most basic class, with emphasis on connection and
improvisation. He believes it is necessary to educate and train the body in
order to be able to express the music - teaching dance as a universal
language available for everyone to communicate, create, and have fun.
Mariano has over 15 years of professional experience teaching, performing and
organizing tango events. He has studied in Argentina and the United States
with masters such as Roberto Maiolo, Diego Baldanza, Pablo Villarraza, Jorge
Torres, and Gustavo Naveira, among others.
Mariano currently organizes the “Miami Sunshine Tango festival”, Florida
Tango Weekend, also teaches and DJ’s at milongas in Miami, and all over
Florida. In addition, Mariano has brought world-class tango dancers and
musicians to the South Florida community such as Sexteto Milonguero,
Cachivache, Orchestra La Juan D’Arienzo, La Romantica Milonguera, Miguel
Angel Zotto, Los Totis, Sebastian Achaval and Roxana Suarez, Facundo Piñero
and Vanesa Villalba, Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, among many others…
Oliver Kolker (born 1971) was born in the United States and raised in Buenos Aires, where he developed a deep connection to tango. Although he earned a degree in Business Administration from the University of Belgrano, his passion for the performing arts led him to train as an actor with renowned Argentine masters, including Julio Chávez, Dario Levy, and his mentor Luis “Indio” Romero. In 1998, he founded Tango Argentino, a multidisciplinary platform through which he works as a dancer, choreographer, writer, producer, and director for stage and film, blending cinematic storytelling with the expressive language of tango. Trained by legendary tango milongueros such as Gavito, El Flaco Dani, Carlos Copello, and Graciela González, Kolker has taught and performed internationally. His career includes teaching at leading tango schools in Argentina, touring Europe with Tango Emotion, and five years based in New York teaching and performing at major U.S. festivals. Since returning to Argentina in 2013, he has focused on filmmaking and tango competition production, earning international recognition for his films Fermín: Glories of Tango (2014) and I Had the Heart (2024), and as the creator of Pelando Variación, considered the world’s most challenging tango competition.

Coming soon
Ever since we bumped into each other at a milonga over 10 years ago, tango music has been an endless topic of our conversations. While our DJ careers took different paths, we always shared the same musical taste, vision and drive. That's why each and every time, our DJ tandem is a true spectacle, with its own storyline, unexpected turns, and a climax. We draw our inspiration from the Golden Age classics, which we like to spice up with sweet nostalgia of Guardia Vieja and playfulness of occasional modern orquestas. We believe that a DJ is not a dictator on the dance floor but rather a medium whose job is to channel audience emotional feedback into the best danceable music from the first tanda to the last. Whether you want your heart to race from exhilarating energy or to mellow down with the voice of a weeping violin, you’ll find it all in our music.
