English Summary:

Juan Carlos Copes (born May 31, 1931) is an Argentine tango dancer, choreographer, and performer. He was the first to create choreographed tango stage shows and contributed to the worldwide revival of tango as a dance form after 1970 

Copes choreographed and starred in the musical Tango Argentino in Paris in 1983, which contributed to worldwide revival of tango; his notable stage credits also include his work as chief choreographer of Ástor Piazzolla's María de Buenos Aires (1968), in the Spanish National Dance Company's Dance Icons series (1993), and a leading role in Manuel González Gil's Entre Borges y Piazzolla (Between Borges and Piazzolla, 1997).

Copes' film credits include Raúl de la Torre's musical, Funes, un gran amor (1993), and in a role as chief choreographer in Tango, la película (Tango, the Movie), a 1998 film by Carlos Saura.

He had a daughter, Johana, with his second wife, and he began to dance with her on stage in 1994.

Copes has received numerous artistic awards. His pupils include Robert Duvall and Liza Minnelli.

His often problematic relationship with Maria Nieves, his dance partner for over 40 years, was depicted in the 2015 documentary film Un tango más by German Kral.
