The Team Behind Your Websites and AI Systems
Two services, one dedicated team supported by a network of specialists assembled for every project. Designed for expert-led service businesses that win clients through credibility and trust.
Why Dancing Pels Exists
We believe expert-led service businesses deserve a digital partner who understands how they actually win clients, not through advertising budgets or aggressive outreach, but through credibility, trust, and reputation built over years of exceptional work.
Most digital solutions are built for volume. More clicks, more traffic, more leads. But that's not how expert-led service businesses grow. They grow when the right people find them, trust what they see, and feel confident enough to start a conversation.
That's why we exist. To design websites and AI systems that turn that credibility into consistent client acquisition, for businesses where the founder's expertise is the product and every client relationship matters.
Meet the Team
Dancing Pels is built around two principles: deep personal involvement in every project and the right expertise for every need. Julio and Kathia lead every engagement from start to finish. When a project requires specialized skills, we assemble the right people for the job.
Julio Arango
Founder & Strategy Director
Julio leads web design, AI systems implementation, and business strategy at Dancing Pels. Before founding the studio, he spent years in marketing leadership for a financial software company, working across international markets. He understands business operations from the inside. Beyond client work, Julio is an EXMA-certified speaker delivering workshops and keynotes on design and AI.
Kathia Tagaropulos
CEO & Operations Director
Kathia manages operations, finances, and client coordination at Dancing Pels. She brings real-world business experience: she founded and ran her own asset management firm for international clients and led operations for a global foundation in Panama. At Dancing Pels, she applies that same operational rigor to keep projects on track, budgets transparent, and communication clear. You'll work with her throughout your project to ensure delivery stays smooth and organized.
The Right Experts for Every Project
Great films are built by assembling the right talent for the job. Directors, editors, cinematographers, and sound designers are brought together for each production, chosen for what that specific project demands, and guided under a single creative vision.
We work the same way. When your project requires capabilities beyond our core team, we bring in trusted specialists from our network, 3D animators, motion designers, advanced AI developers, SEO specialists, and more. Every collaborator works under our direction, within our process, and to our standards. You get the focus of a boutique studio, with the depth of expertise your project actually requires.
How We're Different
Operator Mindset
There's a difference between knowing how something works and knowing what it takes to make it work in a real business. We run Dancing Pels using the same websites and AI systems we build for clients. Every design decision, every workflow, and every strategy is shaped by real daily use inside our own expert-led service business.
We don't theorize about best practices. We operate by them. That operator mindset is also why we stay deliberately boutique. It keeps us close to the work, grounded in judgment over rigid process, and focused on quality and attention. You get solutions built by people who understand your operational reality, because they live it.
AI-Era Strategic Thinking
The way clients find and evaluate service businesses has fundamentally changed. Search is no longer just Google. AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity are now part of how decisions get made.
We design and build for this reality, not for how things worked five years ago. That means understanding how SEO and GEO work together, how AI systems have evolved beyond simple task execution into decision-support tools, and how websites and AI systems function as a single, integrated growth engine.
While most studios treat these as separate pieces, we build them to work together. You get strategic thinking built for where technology is going, not where it's been.
