Kim Schwartz
Born in London, Kim Schwartz’s passion for the Argentine tango took her to Buenos Aires, the dance form’s birthplace, whether she spent four years studying with top teachers and immersing herself in the culture with which the tango is synonymous. To complement her training, she also studied ballet and modern jazz.
She has performed in famous Buenos Aires tango shows such as Chiquilin Tango, Tango Real of the Mansion Dandi Royal and La Cumparsita. She has also taught in well-known academies such as the Mansion Dandi Royal and La Confiteria Ideal. She has performed on Argentine and Paraguayan television with her partner, David Benitez.
