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.  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.

They are not only excellent dancers but also 
excellent teachers.  Thorough and dedicated, they
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.
They have taught  in Argentina, Brazil, the 
United States, including  the 2004 Portalnd Tango 
Fest,  Central America, Europe,  including the 
Valencia Tango Festival 2004,   Australia, New 
Zealand, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore and 
Thailand.
