ABOUT MAXI & MILVA:

Milva Bernardi and Maximiliano Gluzman are two young
milonguer(o/a)s from Buenos Aires, the city where they live
and dance. They represent the new generation of Milonguero
style dancer. The tango that Maxi and Milva transmit is
based upon communication between dancers in a continuously
close
embrace, musical interpretation and respectful navigation in
the dance floor. Consequently, their lessons are based on
posture, leading and following, and musicality as a source
of creativity. They focus on improvisation as key to develop
a dance that is fun and enjoyable for the couple, while they
can still comfortably circulate in a limited space. They
travel regularly to Europe to teach and perform. This is
their second tour to the USA.

Milva Bernardi started dancing in 1996. She studied formally
with great Argentinean teachers such as Eduardo Capussi,
Celia Blanco and Graciela Gonzalez, among others, but feels
that her ultimate school was the milonga portena, where she
danced with the most experienced milongueros, discovering
the secrets of their body language. She has taught classe
with renowned milongueros such as Enrique Rosich, Ruben
Harymblat, Ricardo Vidort, Raul Poli and the world famous
Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi.

Maximiliano Gluzman started dancing in 1997. He soon
discovered milonguero style and studied with the most
renowned Argentine teachers in this style: Susana Miller,
Ana Maria Schapira, Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi, Pocho y Neli,
Ricardo Vidort and Jorge Kero. Even if his main source of
practice has been dancing in the milonga through endless
hours, he has also embraced teaching as a main activity. He
teaches at Susana Miller's La Academia in Buenos Aires at
all levels as well as with Milva Bernardi. Maximiliano is
one of the organizers of the International Milonguero
Meeting that took place in Buenos Aires in February 2007.
Maxi also DJs at the  milonga El Beso in Buenos Aires.
