Our Creative Team

Tango was a perfect fit for Cynthia’s love of music and dance discipline that followed a fifteen year career with the Joffrey Ballet. Cynthia experienced excellence in choreography, stage design, live orchestras and theatre in her ballet life. She brings that attention to detail and quality of movement in her work in tango as a dancer, director teacher and choreographer. In 2017, Cynthia won the accolade of USA Stage Tango Champion and represented the United States in Buenos Aires that same year in the semifinals of the Mundial (Tango World Cup). Cynthia created her company “Intimo Tango”, where she shares her passion through teaching, performance, live music, art, storytelling and community building. She is currently working on a documentary series called “21st Century Tango”, where she exposes her extraordinary experiences with the people, places and intimate connections she has had the gift to encounter in her tango life.

Dominic relocated to Denver in late 2023 to co-found and direct the Intimo Tango International School, infusing Colorado with twenty years of teaching, performing, and community-building experience. From captivating audiences across thirty countries, his passion for tango transcends borders and style. While already an award-winning champion of traditional tango, he also enjoys exploring alternative music and nontraditional approaches to the dance. Following immersive studies in Buenos Aires, he spent artistic residencies in Florence, Paris, Berlin, Kyiv, Moscow, Budapest, and India where he honed his craft and gained fluency in four languages. His vision is to cultivate Denver's thriving tango community into a global epicenter. As of March 2024, Dominic is the current champion of the International Open Jack & Jill category ("Best Leader") of the SoCal Tango Championship.
