Born in Buenos Aires in 1987, Corina Herrera has been dancing tango for 28 years and teaching for 23 years. At age 9 she fell in love with this dance of firuletes (flashy adornments) and exuberant clothes. It all started out as entertainment. She had a passion for dancing and felt special in that group of adults where she started back on 500 Talcahuano Street. Since her first class, she has never stopped dancing, and it has been a lifetime dedication.

Corina stepped into a milonga for the first time at age 13. She was amazed by the power of connecting body movement with music and the challenge of improvised dance between two people, and her commitment to tango became even stronger. She started to take classes with the most recognized teachers, such as Julio Balmaceda, Corina De La Rosa, Fernando Galera, Vilma Vega, Omar Vega, Pupi Castillo, Milena Plebs, Chicho Frúmboli, Dana Frigoli, and Pablo Villarraza. At the age of 14 she was already the teaching assistant to several of these internationally renowned teachers and began to receive requests for her first private lessons. At age 16, Corina formed a partnership with Rodrigo Palacios and started performing in Buenos Aires. One of the most important was in La Viruta in 2003, which the International Congress of Argentine Tango (CITA) called “La Noche de los Jóvenes.” The same year, they were invited to perform as Outstanding Young Couple at the famous Salon Canning. Later, she partnered with Federico Naveira for performances at La Viruta and Práctica X in Buenos Aires.

By age 22, Corina was touring throughout Europe and around the world. Extraordinarily accomplished in both leader and follower roles, she teaches and performs currently with a few different dancers, most recently Inés Muzzopappa.
