*RAQUEL GREENBERG:
Raquel Greenberg started dancing when she was 6 years old. 12 years of ballet and contemporary were the foundation for all that followed. In 1991 she started Latin and ballroom studies, received the IDTA diploma (international dance teachers association) and competed in international dance competitions such as the prestigious Blackpool congress in England. In 1998 she discovered and was swept away by the Argentine tango.
Her most marking maestros are Carlos Gavito, Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena Ermocida , Roberto Herrera, Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, Javier Rodriguez & Geraldine Rojas, Nito & Elba, Vanina Bilous.
From 2001 she based herself and lived in Buenos Aires, capital of Tango, where she was teaching and performing, breathing the essence of the Argentine Tango.
In 2012 she moved to London, her new base, where she is teaching performing and from where she travels the world to spread her art. She has won the Latin UK awards for best Tango teacher and has performed at the Queen Elizabeth hall, Royal Festival hall, the Olympic games, Regent’s street festival, and was chosen to perform for the first Argentine Tango milonga at Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Her personal style is the outcome of fusion between traditional tango and modern tendencies, having studied, worked, and danced, with old age milongueros, great masters of the traditional style and the leaders of “new age” tango.
Elegance, grace, musicality and aesthetics within the embrace – the soul of tango, are her guidelines.
