GUEST IN RESIDENCE: Fernando (Chucky) Romero

Fernando (Chucky) Romero Fernando Romero, known as “Chucky,” is an Argentine dancer, choreographer, and artist specializing in folklore and tango. Trained in dance from an early age, his journey includes urban dance, circus arts, and contemporary dance, before reconnecting with the roots that resonate most deeply with him: Argentine folklore and tango. As a performer and creator, Chucky brings a sensitive and authentic perspective to tradition, bridging the ancestral with a contemporary expression. He also works as a tango DJ, where he translates his experience as a dancer into musical curation: for him, each tanda is a way of dancing with everyone at the same time from behind the console, creating a living, dynamic, and deeply connected dance floor.
