more about our stars:
Hiro Tanaka:
Having studied with prominent Argentinean professionals such as Carlos Gavito, Gustavo Naveira &Giselle Anne, Dana Frigoli, Gaston Torelli & Moira Castellano, among others, Hiro has acquired his approach toward the dance. Now he is one of the practitioners of a New Generation Tango "SalonTango Nuevo," which comfortably unifies traditional and Nuevo tango on the floor and has become a new trend in Buenos Aires.
Also, Hiro's strong background in Japan's martial arts (Judo and Karate) has given his tango a special flavor to it, focusing more on the energy flow-- beyond mere step sequences on the floor.
Sabrina Volpi:
Sabrina is a native New Yorker and began dancing at the age of three. Her dance background ranges from Classic Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Pointe to Hip Hop and competitive Latin dances. She was introduced to Argentine tango in October 2007 at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and has been dancing with Hiro for approximately four years.
Sabrina has learnt intensively from top Argentinean instructors in Buenos Aires, Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, Ezequiel Farfaro, Mario Consiglieri & Anabella Diaz-Hojman, Adrian Veredice & Alejandra Hobert, and others. Sabrina dances with passion and her dance is dynamic and full of positive energy; you often can catch her smiling and laughing on the dance floor! When she’s not dancing, she has an appointment in the research sciences, which she also loves.
