[Tango-A] NA-E, NA-C: El Pulpo & Luiza Sept. 7-12 in Pittsburgh

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

"The improvisation is me at the present moment.  And in the
present moment there's only me and my dance partner.  What
dance is more true to what one feels?...I fly listening to
melodies.  I inspire myself all the time in the melody...It
gives you an endless freedom, something that to me is
fundamental in my dance.  My dance expresses the freedom I
have inside and the music has to inspire freedom." –
Norbert Esbrez

NORBERTO "EL PULPO" ESBREZ of Buenos Aires is the third
generation of tangueros in his family (grandfather and
father were both bandoneon players).  For almost two
decades Norberto has devoted himself to tango, developing a
very spontaneous and playful style. The fluidity of his
style and complexity of legwork with ganchos, sacadas, and
enganches has earned him the nickname "El Pulpo" (the
Octopus) at the milongas.  Known all over the world as "The
King of Ganchos", he is constantly discovering and adding
new movements to the tango vocabulary such as: enganches,
enredadas, suspensión, the ocho "loco", cruces con cambio
de peso and other figures that he hasn´t named yet. Today
he is considered the most creative of the tango dancers.

LUIZA PAES, his partner, has studied music since she was
age six, eventually working professionally in musical
education and vocal technique. In 1998 she began to study
and dance tango with Norberto, eventually becoming his
partner. She works on technique and musicality for all
levels emphasizing the leader and follower's role,
improvisation, and adapting a dancer’s personal talents to
follow different styles.  She is also fluent in five
languages.
