STANISLAV KATINA

In 2008, he completed a certified three-year-long teaching course at the Centro Educativo del Tango de Buenos Aires (CETBA) in the domains of theory, mechanics, and choreography of Argentine tango. He has further acquired a professional diploma in classical dance from the Faculty of Classic Ballet at the International Society of Teachers of Dancing in Glasgow.
