Rino and Graziella met in 2010 and began dancing together at the end of that year, with a clear goal:
to form a stable partnership that would enhance their qualitative and personal growth in tango. Having previously danced ballroom at a professional level, they turned to tango for its superior interpretative freedom of music and movement.

\n\nThe discipline and training they gained from their ballroom experience have driven them to continuously refine the basic technical elements of tango and to develop a distinct and recognizable teaching method. Through their dedication, Rino and Graziella have cultivated a unique approach that blends rigorous technique with the expressive artistry that tango offers.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Rino
Fraina<\/h3>

Rino began dancing at the age of 10, focusing primarily on ballroom dances. In 1998, he won his first Italian Championship, marking the start of a successful national and international career. He competed in countries such as England, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, and Spain, earning numerous accolades along the way.

\n\nAs a professional dancer and FIDS specialist, Rino eventually transitioned from competing to judging. It was during a competition that he met Graziella, and their connection blossomed into a partnership both in life and in tango.

\n\nRino's extensive dance experience enabled him to quickly refine and personalize his tango technique, creating a unique and expressive style. Together, he and Graziella have formed a dynamic duo, blending their individual strengths to elevate their performance and teaching in the world of tango.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Graziella Pulvirenti<\/h3>

After completing a two-year preparatory ballet course at the age of five, Graziella dedicated herself to synchronized swimming, winning numerous championships.
At nine, she began training in ballroom and Latin American dances, all while continuing as a synchronized swimming trainer. However, her true passion lay in dancing, and at fifteen, she decided to focus on it entirely.

\n\nGraziella discovered tango at seventeen and embarked on an ardent journey that led her to win the Italian Argentine Dance Championship within just a year. Since 2003, she has studied under Argentinian teachers and made her first trip to Buenos Aires in 2007, a practice she continues annually to enhance her skills and deepen her understanding of tango. Her dedication and talent culminated in reaching the prestigious final of the World Championship of Tango Salon in Buenos Aires in 2008.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
