Barbara Carpino & Claudio Forte
Barbara Carpino and Claudio Forte are professional Argentine Tango dancers among the most charismatic of the new generation.
They met Argentine tango in 2002, after having studied classical dance, contemporary, ballroom and Latin dance for several years.
With the diversity of their studies they have developed their own personal style, with simplicity and unique elegance, with which they have quickly built their reputation becoming one of the most important Italian couples in the tango world.
All of Claudio & Barbara's Tango revolves around extreme improvisation, so much so that in each of their performances they choose the music 10 minutes before performing based on the atmosphere and their mood!!!
Elegance, softness and simplicity are the exceptional characteristics of this extraordinary dance couple.
When they dance, they always manage to convey to the spectators different emotions and a sweetness and passion that are difficult to find in other dancers.
In their past they have participated in several Argentine Tango competitions, becoming Italian Champions of Argentine Tango several times, Bronze Medal at the European Championships, Second place at the World Cup.
In August 2006, the most extraordinary result arrived: in the world capital of Tango, Buenos Aires, Claudio & Barbara participated in the Mundial de Baile de Tango, the absolute World Championship that saw the participation of all the best Argentine Tango couples in the world, more than 4000 couples selected from all over the planet, where they ranked 4th PLACE ABSOLUTE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!
Claudio and Barbara's result is historic because no foreign couple, that is, not from Argentina, had ever arrived in the first five positions in all the editions of the World Championship and, even more incredible, Barbara and Claudio are the first foreign couple to have classified in this world championship, if we consider that the first three positions are occupied by three Argentine couples!!
Today they travel the world doing workshops and performances. In 2004 they founded their tango school in Syracuse, the first in the entire city and province. In July 2007 they organized the first “Siracusa International Tango Festival”.
