She has been teaching dance since she was 17 years old. She studied theater for 5 years with the very well know directors Agustín Alezzo and Augusto Fernández. She graduated as scenographer at the Art School of the Salvador University. She has applied all this knowledge in tango by developing a technique where the tango essence and nature and its structural analysis of the movement are joined together according to her training and research. She is one of a few dancers whose classes consist of making, creating and learning movements based on equality for the roles of the woman and the man. She shares this development and evolution of the Tango-dance.	He learnt his first lessons from his father (Miguel Balmaceda) and for many years he accompanied and assisted his father in tango practices. After his father's death in 1991, Julio was in charge of his father's classes in Salón Canning. He was the first young teacher who kept on researching tango and its training without losing the connection with the tango essence of the old milongueros and salon dancers. He is not only a born tango dancer but also intuitive. He is well known worldwide as well as in Argentina due to his naturalness, quality and musicality that make his dance and his walk a synonym of Tango.
