Damián Rosenthal
Born in Buenos Aires, Damián studied tango throughout the 1990s under the guidance of some of the most influential masters of the great transformation era of tango. In 2000, he moved to Europe, where he played a key role in the growth and development of tango during the first decade of the 21st century.
Vanessa Fatauros
Originally from Europe, Vanessa moved to Buenos Aires in 2002. There, she immersed herself for 10 years in the vibrant tango scene, training intensively and participating in the artistic community before returning to Europe.
Vanessa Fatauros
Together as a Tango Couple
Since 2013, Damián & Vanessa have dedicated themselves to exploring the language of dance and building a strong artistic identity as partners. They have performed and taught at festivals, shows, and events across Europe, Argentina, Canada, and the United States, leaving a remarkable mark on the international tango scene with a combined career spanning over 20 years.
As dancers and choreographers, they have created and performed in numerous tango productions — choreographing for themselves, collaborating with other artists, and staging original shows.
As teachers, they have developed a unique method of transmitting their deep knowledge of Argentine tango. Their teaching philosophy is centered on connecting with the spirit of each student, guiding them to build strong technical and cultural foundations while discovering freedom, self-expression, and personal growth through the art of tango.
With more than 20 years of experience, Tango&Core shares the passion, roots, and culture of Argentine tango. We love passing on this beautiful dance and welcoming everyone from their very first step.
In our classes, we bring together dancers of all levels, creating a space for learning, exchange, and connection. Our method combines a solid technical foundation with musical and cultural depth, always respecting the authentic roots of tango.
Beyond steps and technique, we believe tango is a mirror for personal growth — a way to connect with others and discover the best version of yourself in a warm, human-friendly atmosphere.
