[ccdancer]

It is our pleasure and delight to announce that "El Pulpo," Norberto Esbrez, and his beautiful partner, Luisa Paes, will be joining our growing list of Argentine Masters at the 3rd Annual Boston Tango Festival next month.  For those of you who are not familiar with "El Pulpo," his unique technique in weaving consecutive mazes of ganchos and enganches have caught the attention of many dancers worldwide.  More specifically, "El Pulpo" has 12 years of professional experience as a dancer, tango teacher and choreographer. He has
learned from Rodolfo Dinzel and worked for the most important theaters and show-places in Buenos Aires, such as
Teatro San Martin, Café Tortoni and many others. Norberto is the third generation of tangueros in his family. He
carries eighty years of tango tradition and history: His grandfather and father were both bandoneon players. For more than a decade Norberto devoted himself to Tango and deeply researched and developed a very personal technique and style. Complex but continuous and smooth sequences of ganchos, sacadas and enganches are totally
improvised. In the milongas in Buenos Aires he is known as “El Pulpo”: the octopus.

His partner, Luiza Paes, began to study and dance tango with El Pulpo more than 8 years ago. She started working as El Pulpo’s assistant at his classes in his studio now teaches with El Pulpo in all his international tours and congresses.  Norberto & Luiza have toured and taught tango in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Brasil and, of course, Argentina.  They have also taught at the prestigious CITA (International Congress of Argentine Tango) festival in Buenos Aires.  Do stay tune for additional updates and news at www.bostontangofestival.com.  We expect to begin preregistration very shortly directly from the webite.  

Don't forget, organizers can qualify for group discount and superpass rewards with 5 or more superpass preregistrations by June 1, 2006.  The Tango Society of Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology TangoClub look forward to seeing you here in our fair city to celebrate Tango next month.
