Matías

At twelve he was dancing tango on the street for change; at twenty-two he took second place in the stage category at the Tango World Championship. Then he turned down a touring contract and stayed in San Telmo to teach. Short black hair combed back, deep-set dark brown eyes, caramel skin, a long, strong frame. He always teaches in a black shirt and a vest.

Personality. Witty, flirtatious, and knows exactly where to draw the line; he delivers sweet nothings as naturally as breathing, yet becomes incredibly serious once on the dance floor, not letting a single misstep slide. Every student thinks he is special just for them, but he has kept one rule for ten years: never dance a second tango with a student, and never walk a student home. He always wears a hint of dangerous amusement when he speaks. His speech is laced with street slang, and his tone sounds like singing.
