Graziella and Rino: Bio

Rino and Graziella met in 2010 and started dancing together with the aim of using their partnership to facilitate their growth in tango, as a couple and as individuals. They had both danced other dances at a professional level, but chose tango for its greater interpretive freedom in movement and musical expression. The discipline and training that they brought from other dances have helped them to deepen their mastery of technical elements, and to research and elaborate their own teaching method.

Graziella started dancing at age 3. After two years of preparatory ballet, she dedicated herself to synchronized swimming, winning numerous championships. She started dancing couple dances at age 9 and discovered tango at age 17. She has been studying with Argentine teachers since 2003, and has visited Buenos Aires yearly since 2007. In 2008, she achieved the World Tango Championship Final.

Rino began dancing at age 10, specializing in ballroom dances. He won his first Italian Championship in 1998, and since then, has maintained a national and international career. He competed in England , Austria , Belgium , Poland , Russia , Lithuania and Spain, winning numerous competitions. He became a professional and also a Fids specialist, leaving competing to become a judge. During a competition, he met Graziella, and they began a couple in life and in tango. He drew on all his previous dance experience to quickly refine and personalize his tango technique.

Together, Rino & Graziella teach around Italy, and preside over the En Tus Brazos association with locations in Catania and Salerno. Their goal has teachers is to deepen the technical evolution of tango through lessons and practice sessions that help everyone create their best tango. Rino & Graziella continue to study deepen their knowledge, including many seminars with Chicho Frumboli and Juana Sepulveda and Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne. They organize Catania Summer Tango Week, among other events, and have participated as teachers and performers at various national and international tango events throughout Europe, Asia and the United States.
