Daniela and Luis met during her first trip to Buenos Aires, in June 2005.daniela Luis What was supposed to be Luis's last tanda for the night turned into two hours of dancing together. The magical connection that they experienced that night led them to share their tango paths. Daniela decided to leave her academic career to join Luis as his tango partner. Luis left Buenos Aires to join her in New York City, where they currently live. They started their work together in the show "Tango Historias" in Warsaw, Poland, which was also Luis's direction debut.

Luis's and Daniela's connection in the dance is admired by tango enthusiasts everywhere they go --- it has been said that they dance as if an invisible string connects their feet. Their dance is also recognized for its musicality and effortlessness. In their teaching, they emphasize body awareness as the key for creating beautiful and natural movement within a gentle and comfortable embrace. They are praised for their dynamic, warm and hands-on attitude with their students.

Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Luis Bianchi started dancing tango in 1994 and became a professional dancer in 1997.

He studied with several tango masters, including Los Dinzel, Gabriel Angio and Natalia Games, Carlos Rivarola, Geraldine Rojas and Javier Rodriguez, Osvaldo and Miguel Zotto, Chico Frumboli and Eugenia Parilla, Pablo Villaraza and Dana Frigoli. He has worked extensively as a tango instructor, trainer, performer and choreographer in Argentina, Brazil and Europe, including participations at the Festival Cambalache and a show by Bajofondo Tango Club, both in Buenos Aires. Luis is praised for his deep knowledge of the dance, originality and sense of humor.

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Daniela Pucci came to tango from a background in science and classical piano. Twenty years of experience with the piano have made her an exceptionally sensitive and intuitive follower. She started dancing in 1999 and studied with Valencia Batiuk, Melina Brufman and more extensively with Mariela Franganillo. For three years, Daniela traveled 500 miles every weekend in order to pursue tango. During those years, she saw her passion for the dance overtake the passion for science, until she met Luis and made the decision to fully devote herself to tango. Daniela is praised for her elegant dance, clear and detailed-oriented approach to teaching and generosity with the students.
