Guillermina Quiroga began her career as a ballet dancer. In 1988 she entered the world of the milongas in Buenos Aires, becoming the partner of choice of seasoned milongueros, particularly Pupy Castello. A year later, she was awarded the coveted Hugo del Carril first-place trophy in the first edition of the prestigious Tango tournament sponsored by the municipality of Buenos Aires. Thus began her professional career as a tango dancer, during which she enjoyed soloist and prima ballerina billing on the Julio Iglesias world tour 1997-1999 as well as with the orchestras of John Mauceri, Luis Bacalov, Mariano Mores, Beba Pugliese, Orlando Trípodi, Juan José Mossalini, and Color Tango; and the critically acclaimed shows Tango x 2, Tango Argentino, and Luis Bravo's Forever Tango and Malambo. |

A trained classical dancer, he started his career in 1981 working with prestigious ballet companies. He forayed into tango in his early twenties learning from the great masters of that time. His teachers were Petroleo and Todaro who gave him all the figures and steps that he wanted to learn. As he went along, he found himself deeply immersed into the rhythm and nostalgia of the dance. The greatest influence on his career was Juan Carlos Copes from whom he took countless lessons and hours of hard work got him to where he is now. Copes directed him in his first tango spectacle entitled “TANGO TANGO” in 1988. Despite the great teachers who have influenced his career, Roberto Reis retains a distinctive style setting himself apart from his teachers and today’s present crop of dancers He has toured forty-five countries since he started his tango journey teaching and performing in places like the United States, Europe, Japan, and Korea. He has performed for several productions around the world such as: Tango 92 de Mariano Mores, Forever Tango, Milonga Boulevard, Fascination Tango, Tango Metropolis. He took part in Julio Iglesias Tango Tour in 1997. He was a judge for the 3rd International Tango Festival organized by the city government of Buenos Aires in 2005. |
