Born in Rosario Argentina, Dario started dancing at the age of fourteen at "El Club Sarmiento" with great teachers like Daniel Aguinaga, Marta Corazza, and Miriam Mondello. After only a few weeks of dancing, he knew that tango was going to become an integral part of his life. Tango has been his passion ever since.
Dario studied with maestros Rodolfo Ruiz Diaz and Victoria Collosio. He also had random instruction from the old milongueros of Rosario. They have been quoted as saying, "he's young, but he has the heart of a true tanguero".
Dario started working professionally at the age of seventeen, performing in the cities of Rosario and Buenos Aires, as well as in dance festivals throughout Argentina.
He perfomed in Buenos Aires at the "Primer Encuentro Nacional de Tango" in 1999 with the Orchestra Juan de Dios Filiberto. He has also played a major part in the following shows: Y No es Poca Cosa, El Tango y Sus Bailarines, Tango y Vida, Una Noche de Tango, and many others.
Dario has been teaching and performing throughout the East coast for the past four years. He has performed in New York at many dance events such as the International Encounter of Nations in Albany, the Dance Flurry in Saratoga Springs, the Merking Concert Hall and Joe's Pub in Manhattan. In Massachusetts, he has performed in "Dance across the City" at the Wang Theater in Boston, and "The Boston Tango Festival." Most recently, Dario has been happily performing with the Mass Tango Orchestra all across the East coast.
Dario's teaching style is considered one of the best, mixing musicality and connection, along with technique. His classes are fun and exciting for both beginners, as well as advanced dancers.
