A systems engineer by profession, a trumpet player for fun, and a tango dancer at heart.

“A systems engineer by profession, a trumpet player for fun, and a tango dancer at heart.”

I discovered tango around 2008, at Centro de Artes Promenade. What began as curiosity became, over the years, one of the passions that define my life.

My training led me to join the Prometango company, where I had the opportunity to travel to Argentina for private training in the birthplace of tango.

For years I was a tango instructor at Centro de Artes Promenade, teaching new generations of dancers, alongside Mercedes Barboza, a dancer well known in Costa Rica's tango scene, until the pandemic arrived, a moment that completely transformed the way I worked.

Throughout my career, I've brought tango to theaters, hotels, cultural and private events, national and international performances, tango competitions, and even television appearances.

After 2020, my work shifted: today I focus mainly on private lessons, personalized accompaniment and tango experiences, helping more and more people discover this world at their own pace.
