</a><b><i>Norberto "El Pulpo" Esbrez</b> been dancing tango for
nearly 20 years. His father and grandfather <br>
were both respected bandoneon players, and his own feeling for the music
is evident in his work. <br>
His nickname, “El Pulpo” – the octopus - comes from his unique, fluid
style, which uses complicated <br>
displacements, ganchos, enganches, and the intertwining of the dancers’
legs. His tango steps were <br>
first practised with rock & roll which gave him tremendous agility
and a very relaxed, almost casual <br>
approach to his dance style. He is renowned in Buenos Aires and all over
the world as the <br>
“King of the Ganchos” for his ability and thorough understanding of the
leg work in tango. <br>
He has created and added innumerable movements to the tango vocabulary,
and is continually <br>
developing his innovative technique and style. For that reason, he is
considered today the most <br>
creative of the tango dancers.<br>
<br>
<b>Luiza Paes </b>teaches a creative women’s technique that emphasizes
the role of the follower and <br>
her connection to the leader, exploring receptiveness and availability
for improvisation. <br>
Her dance ability and her knowledge of music are exceptional and her
ability to communicate with <br>
and motivate students is extraordinary. <br>
<br>
As recognized masters and pioneeers of their art, El Pulpo & Luiza
have earned an international <br>
reputation teaching throughout Europe, the United States, Japan and South
America. <br>
