For seven years he toured Asia before moving to Europe, where he founded the Scuola Argentina di Tango in Italia in Perugia. With an extensive career across Europe and Latin America, Luis has performed in renowned companies and festivals, including Tangueros del Sur with Natalia Hills, Tango Rouge Company, Festival dello Stretto, and many others. He has also served as a jury member for prestigious tango championships. Vittoria Franchina began her artistic journey with dance at a young age before dedicating herself fully to Argentine tango. She has performed at numerous international festivals across Europe and South America, including Time for Tango Festival, Aquelarre Tango Festival, Helsinki Tango Weekend, Bordeaux Cité Tango Festival, Zurich Tango Weekend, and more. She has also been an organizer of tango holidays in Colombia and a judge at the International Tango Championship in Paris. Dancing together since 2024, Luis & Vittoria have quickly established themselves as a celebrated tango couple. Based in Milan, where they run their own school, they are invited regularly to perform and teach across Europe at events such as Dublin Tango Festivalito, Munich Tango Weekend, Tango in Love, Firenze Tango Weekend, and many more. Their artistry has also brought them into collaboration with the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where they have taught tango seminars for professional dancers. As organizers of the Sanremo Tango Festival, as well as prestigious milongas at Teatro Arcimboldi and Teatro Franco Parenti in Milan, Luis and Vittoria bring a perfect combination of elegance, passion, and innovation to the tango world.

Sophie Sperling & Francis Aguilar, Milano
Sophie, born in Germany in 1998, began her dance journey at the age of three with classical ballet, which she studied for thirteen years. She then expanded her artistry through contemporary dance and dance-theatre, following the Pina Bausch method. At seventeen, she chose to dedicate herself fully to Argentine Tango. A decisive moment in her career was meeting her mentor and teacher, Sebastián Arce, with whom she continues a close collaboration. Since 2022, she has been the official representative for Italy within EjesTango, an international union of tango schools. Francis, born in 1995 in Moreno, Buenos Aires, also chose Tango as his life’s path at the age of seventeen. He trained extensively at some of the most renowned tango academies in Buenos Aires, including three formative years at the prestigious Instituto José Neglia, where he deepened his technique. His career has included success in various tango championships and performances with internationally recognized companies such as El Cruxe and Titanes del Tango. Sophie and Francis met in December 2022 in Buenos Aires. Just ten days later, they decided to embark on a professional journey together in Milan, where they founded their own school and became permanent members of the EjesTango Union. Since then, they have participated in numerous national and international projects, joined the prestigious company TangoX2, and established themselves as resident teachers in several Italian cities. Today, their focus is on expanding their school and community, developing innovative teaching methods, and advancing their careers as dancers and choreographers—continuing their artistic growth under the guidance of Sebastián Arce. LEVEL 1& 2 WORKSHOPS |
Felizia Roth & Reveriano Camil have been a tango couple since 2014 and since then taught many workshops and performed on many stages together. Both come from a classical backround, which they incorporate in their dancing as well as in their approach of teaching. Their love for Tango Argentino strives them to organise big Tango Argentino events such as this one to improve and grow the Tango Argentino community.
