Carlos Romero (1904-??) left his native Mexico with his family as a child, following the start of the revolution. By the 1920s, the Dancing Romeros were performing Mexican-infused ballroom and rhythmic dances in nightclubs and at picture palaces, in between the film showings.
Romero then moved into dance directing, both in live entertainment venues and, in the thirties and forties, for the cinema. He was the chief choreographer for the touring dance troupes of Fanchon and Marco, which led to his involvement in the staging of the International Polarink Follies, an ice-skating show.
In 1934, Romero was one of the five choreographers who worked on MGM’s Hollywood Party, the only one who was uncredited.
