<div><tt><font size="+2">From the movies Evita and The Tango Lesson,
Hugo "El Gato" Valdez, and his partner Andrea Monti,
are simply among the world's finest dancers and teachers of the
tango. <font color="#000000"> They dance "Tango Salón"
with refinement and distinction, and have a
reputation for elegance, technique and
musicality. They have become real representatives of the typical
tango "porteño," and have made numerous Tango Tours
both nationally and internationally including performances
in Theatres, Tango Bars, and Milongas "porteñas" such as
"Bar Sur", "Palacio San Miguel", "Café
Homero Manzi", "El Club del Golf", "El Club
Torcuato Tasso", El Parakultural, La Pulpería, Salón Canning,
La Nacional, and Glamour (W.A) among others.</font></font></tt></div>
<div><tt><font size="+2" color="#000000"><br></font></tt></div>
<div><tt><font size="+2" color="#000000">They are not only excellent
dancers but also excellent teachers. Thorough and dedicated,
they</font></tt></div>
<div><tt><font size="+2" color="#000000">know how to break patterns
and technique down for students. They have developed a teaching
method based on posture, balance, axis, weight change, rhythm
and especially the tango walk, emphasizing
interpretation of the music, and encouraging students to
express their feelings when dancing.</font></tt></div>
<div><tt><font size="+2" color="#000000">They have taught in
Argentina, Brazil, the United States, including </font><font
size="+2"> the 2004 Portalnd Tango Fest, <font color="#000000">
