guillermo torrens

Guillermo Torrens was born in Argentina and Tango soon became his life. He watched it performed in houses, theatres, at Milongas and in the streets and longed to Tango professionally himself. His studies began in Rosario, Argentina with the legendary Orlando Paiva and intensified when he moved to Buenos Aires in 2002 to study with teachers such as the “Maestro de Maestros” Raul Bravo along with Angela Ruth Manonellas, Silvio Lavia and Mimi Santapa.

Studying classical dance at an early age influenced Guillermo. His artistic background has a strong emphasis on technique and dance interpretation. He studied ballet with Liliana Belfiore, an ex Prima Ballerina with the English National Ballet Company. Even now he continues to learn from other excellent teachers. Guillermo has performed in many shows and theatres in Buenos Aires such as The Confiteria Ideal, Esquina Homero Manzi, Centro Cultural Borges, Teatro Avenida and Teatro el Globo and well as in Europe and Brazil. In 2007 he toured around the UK as the lead dancer in Tango Nuevo with the Tango Siempre Company.

Guillermo is an experienced choreographer. He has choreographed most of the shows and exhibitions with which he’s been involved. He has taught in Argentina, Switzerland and the UK. He also runs tango sessions in schools with Maria.
