*About ANTONIO TODARO*
 Antonio Todaro was a great inventor/creator of tango figures and steps, and
he had a strong influence on how
tango is danced today. His style was strong, athletic, fast, and powerful.
In Todaro's style, both partners are
equally powerfull. He was little concerned with the basic walk of a social
tango. He was very proud of the speed,
agility, and acrobatics of his technique. Todaro often practiced and
invented new steps with other accomplished leaders
like Raul Bravo. One led and the other followed, and then they switched. Out
of these practices evolved a very strong,
one could say almost "A-sexual" style in which there was no masculine and no
feminine. Both partners were equally strong.
A leader could do a follower's step, and a follower could do a leaders step.
Many of todays most famous and
accomplished dancers and teachers studied with Todaro.

*About* *PEPITO AVELLANEDA:*
Pepito was a very talented social dancer from the golden age famous for his
milonga.
His signature style consisted of playfull and creative complex figures. He
was one of the first milongueros to travel to
 Europe to teach Argentine tango. Many of the today's famous dancers have
studied with him and his figures have been
modified to use on the stage. Carina Losano was one of his students.
