From October 2-4, this world-class couple will be visiting our community to lead a specialized series of intensive workshops, offering local dancers a rare opportunity to study directly with premier maestros from Buenos Aires.


Meet the Maestros

Rocio Analia de los Santos (RAS) and Luciano Joel Capparelli (LJC) are widely recognized across the global tango community for their breathtaking artistry, precision, and deep respect for the roots of Argentine Tango. Their partnership beautifully bridges the gap between spectacular stage productions and the elegant, intimate social dance floors of Buenos Aires.

Professional Background

  • Global Performers & Choreographers: Rocio and Luciano have traveled the world as featured headliners at major international tango festivals, theaters, and prestigious milongas throughout Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
  • Master Educators: Known for their exceptional pedagogy, they are highly sought-after instructors who specialize in breaking down complex movements into clear, achievable technical concepts for all levels.

Dance & Teaching Style

Dancers who study with Rocio and Luciano praise their high-energy instruction, warmth, and attention to detail. Their classes focus intensely on:

  • Fluid Dynamics & Elasticity: Master the mechanics behind seamless transitions, dynamic turns, and the elegant use of space on a crowded social floor.
  • The Art of Connection: Learn the nuances of the traditional embrace, developing a clear, comfortable, and responsive dialogue between leader and follower.
  • Musicality & Expression: Discover how to truly hear the orchestra and express the emotional layers of the music through precise footwork and speed control.

Registration & Private Lessons

Because Rocio and Luciano maintain a demanding international touring schedule, their time in Florida is highly limited.

  • Detailed workshop schedules, topics, and pricing tiers will be posted soon.
  • Private Lesson Availability: Opportunities for one-on-one or couple coaching with the maestros will be limited and are expected to book quickly.
