David Benítez was born in Formosa, Argentina. At the age of 18, he moved to Buenos Aires to study ballet and contemporary dance. He graduated from the top dance school of the San Martín Theatre and began working, as solo and principal dancer, with internationally renowned companies, the San Martin Contemporary Ballet and Maximiliano Guerra's Mercosur Ballet.

He had his first taste of tango when he worked with Mora Godoy in the Maximiliano Guerra show "Tango Mirando Al Sur". He began intensive training and within two years, was working in Mora Godoy's Tanguera, Ana María Steckelman's María de Buenos Aires and Miguel Angel Zotto's prestigious Tango Por Dos Company, touring Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Israel and London's very own Sadler's Wells.

Miguel's brother, Osvaldo Zotto, saw him dancing in Tango Por Dos  and took him under his wing as one of his disciples and teaching assistants. David also formed his own regular tango class in the Buenos Aires dance school, El Esquinazo.Click here to read the testimonials of his students

David has been dancing in Rome for the past few months but has now arrived on the London tango scene to offer his very considerable talents as teacher and performer.

Kim first discovered Argentine tango when she entered a run down church hall in North London convinced by her sister to try a class. It was love at first sight.

She began taking a class a week, which gradually became five classes a week, until she was dancing every day. She handed in her notice at the City law firm where she was working and bought a plane ticket for Buenos Aires, where she has now lived for the past four years.

In Buenos Aires, she has dedicated herself fully to the tango, studying with the world's most renowned teachers, of all styles and teaching techniques. She has also trained intensively in ballet and modern jazz to complement her tango.

Amongst her most important influences, she would cite, Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida, Gabriel Missé and Alejandra Martiñan, Damián Essell and Nancy Louzan, Martín Ojeda and Eliana Sanchez, Andrea Missé, Demián García, Melina Brufman, Monica Souto (ballet) and Manuel Vallejos (modern jazz).

She has performed in Buenos Aires shows, such as Chiquilín Tango and "Tango Real" in the Mansion Dandi Royal.  Her performance in the City Theatre, Formosa, with David Benítez was broadcast live to several provinces of Argentina and to Paraguay.

She was a teacher at the Mansion Dandi's Tango Academy, La Confitería Ideal and the dance school El Esquinazo. She worked as teaching assistant in C.I.T.A 2005, Buenos Aires and the Florianopolis Tango Festival 2007, Brazil.
