Until the age of 17 he learned the first secrets of Tango in different schools and academies in the province of Jujuy. During the same period he complemented his artistic career with classes of ballet and contemporary dance while studying classical piano in the music-academy for eight years. Soon Sebastian started giving classes and workshops in state Tango-Schools and Academies and during 3 years he managed his own Dance School in San Salvador de Jujuy and produced and directed a dozen dance shows in the Mitre Theatre in the same city. As a last artistic and cultural project before leaving the province he developed tango- and physical-Expression workshops for schools of the province and for groups of young people with disabilities. At the age of 19 Sebastian began studying Contemporary dance in the National University of Tucuman for 2 years, where he met one of his most important teachers of Tango Salon, Marcelo Altamiranda, who would become one of his most important sources of his love and respect for the traditional tango. Shortly after Sebastian decided to travel to the birthplace of Tango, Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires Sebastian dedicated his first years to the milongas, getting to know the scene, the secrets, tips and codes of the milonga. In addition to the social dancing he studied tango with teachers such as Osvaldo and Coca and Jorge Garcia. Together with his partner Delia Hou he soon started performing in many of the most popular milongas of Buenos Aires such as: El beso, Porteño y Bailarin, Salon Canning, La Baldoza and Sunderland. In 2012 he began working in several Tango shows; in the Sheraton Hotel, Puerto Madero, Moon Festival in Chinatown, Bar Sur Tango, Anibal Troilo's house, Todo Mundo and the popular tango cafe Cafe Tortoni. To keep developing his understanding of the dance he started taking classes with Roberto Herrera, Diego Amorin and Cecilia Capello, Diego Ortega and Aldana Sylveyra. In 1012 Sebastian and Delia organized the first National Festival of Tango Salon in the province of Cordoba and a series of seminars spread around Argentina. Sebastian and Delia traveled together through Chile and USA teaching Tango Salon. And later they closed their time as a dance-couple with a tour to Asia where they participated in the X-Posed festival next to dancers as Milena Plebs and other guest artists. During this tour they also gave several seminars in the Phillipines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Taiwan. In the beginning of 2013 Sebastian dictated a cycle of classes in the Tango Salon school “La Esquina” owned by Fernando Galera and Vilma Vega. In May 2013 he opened his own small space in Villa Urquiza called "El Garaje" dedicate to Tango in which he continues to give regular classes with Belen Fritzler. In 2014 Sebastian went on an extensive tour in Europe and Asia from June to October. The tour included the countries: Denmark, England, Belgium, Holland and the Netherlands and also countries in Asia like Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei doing workshops, classes and performances. Part of it he did together with Eva Lehrmann with whom he is currently working in Buenos Aires and with whom he worked with in December 2014 and January 2015 in the Province of Jujuy (Argentina) and La Paz (Bolivia).
