Julio Mariño Gobbi

Julio Mariño is an Argentine tango dancer and teacher with extensive experience, having begun his career in 1995 when tango experienced a resurgence in the 1990s, eventually becoming the popular dance we know today.Born and raised in a family of engineers, he changed course and dedicated himself to the art of dance from the age of 15. Julio absorbed the techniques, traditions, and essence of tango from a very young age. He was selected as a dancer for the ACETA program, funded by the Ministry of Culture, to train and learn from some of the most important milongueros (tango dancers) such as Portalea, Carlitos Perez, Toto, Horacio Godoy, and many others, with the goal of passing on the knowledge of these prominent figures to future generations.Throughout his years of experience as a dancer, he has explored the styles of show tango, salon tango, nuevo tango, and milonguero tango. As a dedicated tango teacher, Julio developed a sequential, progressive, and organic teaching method that prepares his students for all styles because it is based on the very foundations of the dance. His pedagogy aims to transmit these foundations while adapting his teaching to the individual needs of each student. But above all, Julio is passionate about promoting the most important aspect of tango: emotional connection.Creating a comfortable and gentle embrace, and opening the hearts and minds of his students to connect deeply with others, is his primary mission.
