NORBERTO “EL PULPO” ESBREZ of Buenos Aires is the third
generation of tangueros in his family (grandfather and
father were both bandoneon players). For almost two decades
Norberto has devoted himself to tango, developing a very
personal technique and style. The fluidity of his style and
complexity of legwork with ganchos, sacadas, and 
enganches has earned him the nickname "El Pulpo" (the
Octopus) at the milongas. Known all over the world as "The
King of Ganchos", he is constantly discovering and adding
new movements to the tango vocabulary such as: enganches,
enredadas, suspensión, the ocho "loco", cruces con cambio
de peso and other figures that he hasn´t named yet. Today 
he is considered the most creative of the tango dancers.

LUIZA PAES, his partner, has studied music since she was
age six, eventually working professionally in musical
education and vocal technique. In 1998 she began to study
and dance tango with Norberto, eventually becoming his
partner. She works on technique and musicality for all 
levels emphasizing the leader and follower's role,
improvisation, and adapting a dancer’s personal talents to
follow different styles. She is also fluent in five
languages.
