[Tango-A] NA-W: LOS ANGELES: LUIZA PAES FEB 16-MAR 3

[L]

LUIZA PAES studied music since she was six. For many years working in  
musical education and vocal technique.  As a new form of musical  
expression for her study of Argentine Tango with Norberto Esbrez in  
Sao Paulo in 1998.  Starting as a class assistant in his Sao Paulo  
studio, she later became his partner.

As “Pulpo & Luiza” they traveled to the United States, Europe and Asia  
to perform and teach tango workshops, also acting as translator.

The focus this visit is on Musicality.  We will, of course, be working  
on technique, mechanics, figures, possibilities and variations, but  
Luiza is concerned dancers have a lot of vocabulary but lack the  
understanding of how to use that vocabulary and how to apply it to the  
music.  After all, to Luiza, that's what the dance is all about . . .
