Hello, I'm Maestro Marcelo Rivero
I specialize in teaching Argentine Tango (and Salsa) for social dancing and exhibition performances. I was voted favorite male dance instructor of the year and won several local pro/am competitions with my students.
I'm known not only for my smooth and elegant dancing, but also for being a very patient teacher and ability to break down moves so anyone can do.
I guarantee you will like my course. If by the end of the 1st class of the course you signed up for, sincerely don't feel I helped you and don't see the value, then I will either refund your tuition or offer you private lesson sessions with more personal attention (scheduled at a different time).
Life is a dance anyways! We look forward to guiding your new journey and seeing you express yourself through tango in class!
- Maestro Marcelo
