Roxana and Cesar, from Argentina, are Professional dancers and Argentine Tango teachers. They have been working together since 2014 and have participated in countless shows. They have taken their skills and passion throughout the eastern United States, giving workshops and shows at various dance schools. They are also the choreographers of numerous shows for many Argentine Producers.

They have been part of great companies, such as Tango Desire Company, Tango Legends, Mora Godoy Tango Company, Tango Genuine and Marcos Ayala Tango Company, making national and international tours. They have joined the staff of renowned Tango Shows in the City of Buenos Aires, such as El Gran Cafe Tortoni, Madero Tango, Tango Porteño and currently working in the Viejo Almacén.

They are the principal couple of “Tango The Musical”, a wonderful tribute to Astor Piazolla. In 2015 they were part of Stravaganza Tango, an amazing theatrical show, in which Tango was fused with aerial skills and malambo. They have participated in shows for Argentine television, like “Dancing with the Stars”.

Thanks to their initial training in other disciplines, such as rhythmic gymnastics, aerial silks, acrobatics, modern dances, and a little bit of ballroom dance, they have a versatile and unique dance style that stands out for its flexibility and dexterity.

Mark began Djing Charlotte's own small milongas & local practica's in 2015. Since that time, the love of tango music lead to a collaboration with Tango Tunes - Christian Xello, a respectable 6th place overall in the 2019 Remolino Tango DJ competition, Tango Celebration in Bruges Belgium, Maja and Marko workshop weekend in Florida ,San Miguel Tango Festival Mexico, the Portland Tango Festival, Milonga Del Barrio in New York, and many tango events throughout the US and Southeast.
