Do not miss this special occasion to participate at this workshop with two Tangolegends: 

El Pibe Avellaneda of Buenos Aires (he dances more than 50 years) and

Yvonne Meissner (the teacher who brought more than 25 years ago the first milongueros to Europa).

Il loro appassionato ballo è in stile Tango de Salón Apilado con elementi di Canyengue.

Curriculum:

El Pibe Avellaneda did perform in famous theatres all  over the world, also at Broadway, and with the major part of the known Tango orchestres. 

He is one in the row of the famous classics like Carlos Copez, Pepito Avellaneda, Petacca, Arquimbau, Virulazo, Petroleo, Pocho Pizarro (who did a workshop with Yvonne organized by Ki Dojo in Octobre 1998). 

Since at the age of 13 years el Pibe earned prices in the popular Tango-concourses and is a famous teacher all over the world, from the Americas to Russia (where he performed for Putin).

El Pibe and Yvonne dance an 'intuitive' style without a prepared choreography, a Tangostyle which some (since 1990) define as 'milonguero' style, but actually is called 'Tango de Salón Apilado' in Argentina.

El Pibe preferres rhythmical music as from the Rey Del Compas D'Arienzo to Donato and therefore his milonga con traspie interpretations are really superb, which  Yvonne enriches with her rhythmical firuletes of her footwork, being taught by the older female dancers (milongueras) in Buenos Aires she witnessed in the 90-ies, which favors the communication of the couple! 

In 1994 Yvonne Meissner organized in her school 'El Centro' at Amsterdam the first workshops of a Tango in a close embrace with 'unknown milongueros' as they were like Susana Miller and Cacho Dante. 

Since 1996 her teaching activities brought her all over Europe, USA, Canada, Brazil and Argentina. Since 1999 she taught with her husband Eduardo Aguirre (passed away in 2010) and since 2011/12 in festivals in USA. She worked also with Rubén Terbalca, Pocho Pizarro, Susana Miller, Cacho Dante, Daniel Trenner, Ricardo Maceiras (El Pibe Sarandì), Ana Maria Schapira, Eduardo Aguirre, Luis Rojas, Jorge Firpo, Fernando Serrano and now with El Pibe Avellaneda.

El Pibe had delivered famous professionals like Guillermina Quiroga, Aoniken Quiroga and others.
