Pulpo & Luiza are the most creative of the 
today’s Argentine  tango dancers and
teachers. They have earned an international reputation teaching and performing
throughout Europe, the United States, Japan and South America.

The dynamic Pulpo Esbréz is a third generation tanguero, who has been dancing
tango for nearly 18 years. His father and 
grandfather were both respected bandoneon
players, and his own feeling for the music is 
evident in his work. His nickname, “el Pulpo”
  – the octopus, comes from his unique fluid 
style, which uses complicated displacements,
ganchos, enganches, and the intertwining of the 
dancers’ legs. His tango steps were first
practised with rock & roll which gave him 
tremendous agility and a very relaxed, almost
casual approach to his dance style. He is 
renowned in Buenos Aires and all over the world
as the “King of the Ganchos” for his ability and 
thorough understanding of the leg work
in tango. He has created and added innumerable 
movements to the tango vocabulary,
and is continually developing his innovative technique and style

Luiza Paes has worked and taught with Pulpo since 
1999, and she is now recognized
as an outstanding teacher in her own right, who 
is dedicated to her art and her students.
She teaches a creative technique that emphasizes 
the role of the follower and her
connection to the leader, exploring receptiveness 
and availability for improvisation.
