Dance was innate for her, leading her to win international ballroom titles and perform globally. At 15, she found her love for Tango and relocated to Buenos Aires in 2013 to chase this passion. In Buenos Aires, Raquel immersed herself in Tango, realizing its profound nature and the need for genuine connection. Through Tango, she discovered more about herself. She also worked as a ballroom judge and coached top competitive couples in Argentina and Uruguay. Rainier Pereira, with over a decade in tango, excelled as a performer, teacher, DJ, and Milonga Organizer. From 2011 to 2020, he deepened his craft in Buenos Aires, Argentina, winning the "Inter-Milonga" competition in 2015. That year, he also met Rachel at the milongas, and since then they have enjoyed dancing together, cultivating a lasting friendship. For five years, Rainier was a significant presence at the prestigious DNI Tango School and dance company, performing for audiences in Buenos Aires and Europe. By 2021, he had settled in New York City, sharing his tango expertise with the U.S. audience.
