Herminio met his partner, Carole, in 2003 at Opus Latino.
Carole was his student at the time. She quickly discovered his passion for Latin rhythms. Since then, they've been taking classes together, and are inseparable on the dance floor and in the city!
Herminio and Carole's warmth, energy and joie de vivre are contagious!
