Together as a couple since 2018, Gianpiero and Lorena have embarked on a daily journey exploring the flow of connection through tango, based on their deep mutual understanding. Their shared passion lies in researching and refining an increasingly precise and effective teaching approach, simply known as The Method. Through its principles and procedures, they seek to provide dancers with a clear, accurate, and meaningful framework that transforms tango into a profound and authentic form of artistic communication.
Gianpiero was only 12 when his father (engineer, martial art teacher, and tango lover) involved him in a free project for the youngster to approach tango. He fell in love with tango during his first trip to Buenos Aires when he was only 15 and since then he’s been studying with all the major Maestros. Becomes a teacher the following year and starts performing in Italy and abroad at 18, realizing that he wanted to dedicate his life to tango.
Since then, he has had the chance to travel around and perform with lots of great dancers, such as Mila Vigdorova, Corina Herrera, Cesira Miceli, and Nadia Hronidu. Last but not the least, with Maria Filali, with whom he created a flourishing dialogue and a refined lasting project, which has been internationally acclaimed.
Tango and his pedagogy are strictly connected to his studies at Music Conservatory, engineering, and bio-mechanic as “a simple and efficient technique, based on natural laws and aware listening, as the key to free the real and intimate spirit of tango”. For more than a decade, he has been developing a thorough didactic, and intriguing training method. Moreover, in order to deepen his research, he kept studying motion and teaching: in 2019 graduated in "Motor and Sports Activities and Psychomotor Education Science" with a dissertation on Functional Training Method for Tango which eventually became a book by the name of "Tangere"; in 2019 became a trainer in the "Gyrotonic Expansion System" method; in 2022 got a Master degree in "Pedagogical Sciences".

Lorena has been studying dance and ballet since she was five years old, and at 17 she met Tango thanks to Gianpiero. She got immediately passionate about the didactic and the care that is dedicated to the delicate psyche of the amateurs of this complex art. Under Gianpiero’s guidance, she undertook her professional path. Meanwhile, she graduated in Motor and Sports Activities and Psychomotor Education Science at the University of Salerno, with a thesis on the pedagogy and educational inclusion of Tango for teenagers. In 2015 she begins studying, teaching and performing in partnership with Vladislav Petrov and Giovanni Cocomero. She collaborated on many projects led by Gianpiero and in partnership with Giovanni in Gtango School, the cradle of Tango in Salerno; High School Tango-therapy Project, in high dropout rate schools, teaching teenagers values of social relationships through Tango; Tango at University of Salerno, for getting youngsters acquainted into Tango; Tangere company, the group within they've been training, researching, working, teaching and performing. In 2019 she became a trainer in the "Gyrokinesis" method.
