ROBERTO HERRERA

One of the most outstanding tango masters of contemporary times, Roberto Herrera is a man of many facets in the world of tango. 
 

A top-rate performer as principal dancer of the Argentinean National Ballet directed by Santiago Ayala “El Chucaro” and Norma Viola, he went on to conquer the stage in and outside of Buenos Aires. He starred in the movie “Tango Bar” in 1986. He was part of the cast of “Tango Argentino” in 1992 in Buenos Aires and then Broadway in 2000. From 1993-1995 he was a principal dancer of “Tango Pasion” with the Orchestra Sexteto Mayor. And he was personally hand-picked by the great tango composer Osvaldo Pugliese together with former partner Vanina Bilous to be the principal dancers of the Gran Orquesta of the late maestro. 
 

A great teacher who embraced the old world philosophies of Todaro, Petroleo et.al his teaching is strongly anchored on traditional tango but has successfully ventured his foray in to tango nuevo making him the most important reference point to both genre. His workshop stints included places such as Italy, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, Germany, the USA, Brazil, Japan, Korea, Bali and Australia. 
 

An artistic and successful director-producer, he formed his own company that saw the creation of  “Tango Nuevo di Roberto Herrera” in 2004 that was staged in Buenos Aires and Italy to full capacity.

"TANGO  is an instant connection  to a gamut of human emotions, from sadness to joy,  toughness to tenderness and sensuality to creativity.

It's a unique experience to share all these feelings through dance with an other person"

Her love affair with painting started when she was in junior high school back in Cologne,Germany. She derived her objects of inspiration from Jimmy Hendrix and Janice Joplyn whom she painted in many ways. She was into painting intermittently as a student on art markets in Germany, earning her money for her Asian trips. She also did aquarelle painting for many years which she exposed in her home town  Galleries .  

Although her original ambition was to go to arts school she changed her mind to become an architect instead. She then combined her talent on painting with her interior design projects such as restaurants, shops, hotels and private homes. As an Interior designer and furniture contractor she was involved in many prestigious projects in Bali like Pertamina Cottages, Bali Sol Hotel, The Four Seasons , CLub Mediterrane,  Amandari , Hyatt Bali  and many more.

Later in her career she built her own boutique style Hotel, Villa Kresna- Tropical Resort and Sunset Village , a fulfillment of a long cherished dream and aspiration.

The demands of career and motherhood caused her to temporarily drop-out of painting because of time constraint.

She got into the world of tango because of a tennis elbow that forced her to drop out of her favorite sport. She became so enamored by the dance and its’ music that she went to Buenos Aires twice in 2005 and 2006 to learn and know more about the Argentine tango.

She is the founder  and moving spirit behind the TANGO BALI CLUB and was instrumental to the introduction of the Argentine Tango to the People in the "island of the Gods".

She took many lessons with Roberto Herrera and was much inspired by his teaching in his workshop, held in November 2005 in BALI . Absorbing his syllabus of teaching, she now , as a teacher herself,  transmits Roberto's teaching to her students.

And because the dance gave intense passion to her well-being, she rediscovered her passion for painting as well, as she now combines these two facets to embark on her first international art exhibit.
