Gustavo Benzecry Sabá & María Olivera, are touring the USA for the second
time this year, teaching, performing and doing lectures about the history of
Tango Dance.

 This young couple of dancers represents the most authentic way of
experiencing an artistic expression known around the world for its elegance,
sensuality and expressiveness.  Dancers of the so-called “Tango Salón”, they
show this dance the way it is danced in its original ambience: the
“milongas” of Buenos Aires, the Capital city of Argentina. They teach
regular classes at one of the most prestigious dance halls of that city, the
“Salón Canning” located in the Palermo quarter. 
 They started working as a couple 3 years ago, and soon they became one of
the most distinguished couples of Tango Salón, being recognized by their
pairs because of their elegance, cadence and creativity. 

 Early this year they’ve been touring around 14 cities including New York,
San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston and Portland. 

 In this second tour, they will be visiting several cities, as well as
participating in the Vermont Tango Weekend (Brandon - September 12-14) and
the October Festival (Portland – October 14 – 20).

 Besides teaching and performing, Gustavo Benzecry Sabá has written two
tango-related books, the Tango Danza Glossary – Key Tango Argentino Dance
Terms a dictionary containing more than 300 terms, and Embracing Tango –
Techniques and metaphors between Tango and life. This last one, translated
by María Olivera, is the first written approximation to the original Tango
Salón style, that has been danced in Buenos Aires for over a hundred years.
It includes the explanation of 6 basic sequences as well as articles related
to the embrace, the improvisation, the dance floor and the surrender. It is
finally the first written guide to the so-called “milonga codes” (the
etiquette), the rules of behavior and interaction of people in the context
of the “milonga”. This book is going to be available to purchase during the
workshops.
