“El Pajaro” (Diego Riemer) and Belén (Maria Belén Giachello) dance an intensive tango that is refined and enriched. They strive for a continuous search and development of new and original movements without taking anything away from the classical roots of the dance. “El Pajaro”, an artist of many talents, including dancing, music, design and advertising started tango in Buenos Aires, his home town. He began working as a DJ with Felix Picherna and as a dancer with numerous teachers, including Tito Molinari a renowned master.

The quickness with which he moves his feet, the lightness of his movements and his capacity to whistle in many different ways give him his nickname “el Pajaro” (the Bird).
