Throughout these years Mauricio has been looking to combine the knowledge of anatomy and movement that comes from contemporary dance and yoga with the feeling and passion of Classic Tango, trying to achieve a style of his own but at the same time taking care of, and keeping the essence of this such unique and special dance that has a strong River Plate identity.
In this Tango dance conception, the focus is on the connection with the partner, the improvisation and the musicality, understanding that in any Tango couple there are three members: the man, the woman, and the music; and that good dancing comes from the smooth and harmonious connection among the three of them.
