About Javier: Of Argentina, Javier is a warmly intense and generous talent
belonging to Buenos Aires' newer generation of tango dancers. Grounded,
sensual, and musical expression emanates from Javier's dancing and is
reflected in the faces of his partners on the dance floor. Javier has
performed regularly at such renowned tango venues as Cafe Tortoni and Bar
Sur as well as one of tango's historical sites - Caminito (La Boca). In the
past four years he has traveled throughout the U.S. and in Japan and Spain
to teach classes, founding a milonga and starting tango activity in Seville.
He has also had a full teaching schedule at home in Buenos Aires, including
classes with the Grupo Graciela Gonzalez, for the Festival de Tango de la
Ciudad Buenos Aires in the San Martin Theater and at the University of
Quilmes. This fall he has been teaching with Cristina Cortes at the Escuela
Argentina de Tango.
Javier's fluid and intimate style of dancing defies easy classification. He
seamlessly integrates a variety of influences, making his insights valuable
whether you consider yourself a devotee of milonguero style or a nuevo tango
renegade. When he began dancing over 12 years ago, Tete was one of his most
influential teachers. Javier's drive to further understand the mechanisms
and technique of the dance led him to Graciela Gonzalez, with whom he has
studied extensively.
Watch carefully and you can pick up the influence of Tete's style in
Javier's embrace - a touch of sweetness and light that somehow blends
perfectly with the melancholy soul of tango - and of Graciela's genius in
Javier's teaching - a practical understanding of how the body moves and how
to communicate complex concepts to students of all levels.
As one who has come the long road from novice to professional, Javier has a
unique and compassionate perspective. His students praise him for the
exceptional personal attention that he provides even in group classes, and
for his patience, his practical approach, and his warm sense of humor.
