Federico Naveira and Inés Muzzopappa

Rising tango stars

Federico Naveira was raised among the highest qualified dancers and teachers of Argentine tango, what made him one of the top exponents of the Argentine tango youth in Argentina and the rest of the world.

He started dancing argentine tango at the age of four, and he trained extensively in ballet and modern dances, as well as acting and music. The combination of these skills and knowledge gave him a solid foundation, as well as understanding of dance. At the age of 10—together with his sister Ariadna Naveira—he started to assist at the classes “Tango with Children” organized by his mother and dance instructor Olga Besio. This opportunity gave him a rich experience and prepared him as dance instructor.

At the age of 13, Federico joined a group of dance instructors and since then he has never stopped dancing and teaching. Among the many events he was part of, we find the most important to include “Tangomagia” in Amsterdam, the C.I.T.A (International Congress of Argentine Tango), the Pulpo’s week, the International Argentine Tango Festival in La Plata, and the Tango Festivals organized by the City of Buenos Aires.

Also his work as dance instructor at Tango Brujo school, “Tango with Children” with Olga Besio, and his performances in many of the theaters and socials “milongas” in the city of Buenos Aires. In 2007, Federico performed with Carolina del Rivero, Mariela Sametband and the star of “Tango Argentino” Milena Plebs, experience from which he gained a deeper understanding of the tango dance.

In 2008, together with other young instructors and dancers, Federico has founded “Postango” dance studio, a platform that give him a new advantage point in his career this time as organizer and director. Currently, Federico and his dance partner, Ines Muzzopappa, travel around the world teaching and performing in many tango festivals and workshops, achieving recognition as the leader for the new generation of tango dance around the globe.

The charm and natural beauty of her movements, together with her great physical and intellectual abilities, have made Ines Muzzopappa one of the most promising dancers of argentine tango. Her learning process has been natural and spontaneous since her fourteenth birthday, the time in which she was introduced to the tango masters of “Club Sunderland” in Villa Urquiza, Buenos Aires.

Among other art forms, Ines has studied ballet, singing and music, tools that gave her a solid artistic foundation and a deep understanding of dance. In 2007, Ines earned first place in the category Tango Salon at the Fifth Argentine Tango World Championship in Buenos Aires. This achievement has enabled Ines to develop her teaching skills as she started to work in different national and international dance festivals (such as the First Tango Festival in Comodoro Rivadavia, Pulpo’s Tango Week and the tango festivals organized by the city of Buenos Aires), as well as in the most recognized dance schools in Argentina (“La Esquina” dance studio, “Carlos Copello” dance studio and “Escuela Argentina de Tango”).

From her beginnings, Ines has been invited to perform in all of the milongas in Buenos Aires, together with her dance partners Alejandro Hermida, Bruno Tombari, “Flaco” Dany and Dante, which has made her a confident and solid dance performer.

In 2008, together with other young instructors and dancers, Ines founded Postango dance studio, a platform that gives her a new advantage point in her career, this time as organizer and director. Currently Ines and her dance partner, Federico Naveira, travel around the world teaching and performing in many tango festivals and workshops, developing their career and living a dream made true.
