Blas Catrenau and Luciana Guido

Blas Catrenau

He started dancing Tango in his early youth among other young men at the practice studio of Crisol and Verné.

In the early ‘90s, he started organizing “milongas” himself.

From 2003 to 2009 he leaded “La Milonguita”, one of the most famous “milongas” in Buenos Aires. 


In 2002 he won the First Metropolitan Tango Championship in Buenos Aires.


In 2003 he obtained the Tango Teacher degree released by Buenos Aires City Government.

He was then authorized to teach at the Centro Educativo del Tango de Buenos Aires (CETBA), created by Masters and Dancers Gloria and Rodolfo Dinzel. 


His passion for dancing as well as the harmony he shares with his partners, and the gracefulness of his movements, capture and celebrate the essence of traditional Tango.


Luciana Guido

She was Blas’ dance partner for several years.

She was born in Buenos Aires.

She studied with maestros milongueros and then techniques for women with many tango teachers.

She taught at the “Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires” and for a year and a half, in Paris.

Much of her international career as a teacher and dancer was developed in Europe.

Due to her interest in popular culture, she took the postgraduate course “Social and Political History of the Argentine Tango” (FLACSO Virtual, 2014).

She was recently co-director of the thesis “Barrio de tango, luna y misterio …”, based on the relationship between the neighborhood and tango lyrics.

Another aspect of practice is musicality.

The way to improve your musicality is to engage in active listening of tango music, knowing what you are listening to.

I lead and I follow.

When leading, I like my partner to be sensitive to my lead, reciprocating with being sensitive to her interpretation of music.

Together we do the dance of a being that is not her or me, but the couple.
