Claudio Omar Rubió , was born in Rosario on May 18, 1963. He studied Tango dancing at the "Escuela Municipal de Danzas de Rosario " for four years (from 1990 to the end of 1993), motivated by the love for Tango transmitted to him by his grandfather who regarded this dance as a part of national History and a tradition that never dies. In January 1994, he took classes with Cecilio García and Miriam Nielli, both dancers from the city of Rosario . There, he met María Verónica who was in the same class.

María Verónica Ruggieri was born in Rosario on December 6, 1973, dancer and teacher specialized in classical dancing. Verónica devoted most of her early youth to the art of dancing. After getting well acquainted with Tango, her increasing admiration for tango music and dancing led her not only to enhance her tango technique and knowledge but also to devote most of her life to this wonderful art.

In Buenos Aires , Verónica and Claudio attended classes given by top teachers. Starting in September 1994 and for two consecutive years, they took classes from Orlando Paiva , who was born in Rosario and has an internationally recognized professional career. Verónica and Claudio adopted his style and elegance, enhancing their tango technique and adhering to Paiva´s dancing principles.

In September 1995, they joined their lives, got married and started a joint professional career motivated by a great love that caught them from the first moment they met and danced together for the first time.
