A little bit about Ruben & Enriqueta:
Ruben Harymbat (Ruben de Pompeya) is a milonguero from the golden era of
tango. Ruben was born, bred and still living with his wife Haydee in the
Buenos Aires barrio of Pompeya. Ruben known as "Ruben de Pompeya" is 69
years old. He began dancing when he was 14 years old. In those days before
professional teaching developed, he learned from his brothers and male
cousins and friends. They would practice together every year to participate
in the annual carnival.
Although highly respected for his dancing, Ruben never wanted to take his
dancing to a professional level. He describes himself as a humble man who
has always kept a low profile. Ruben worked for 43 years in the Argentine
Post Office; the first 10 years as a locksmith. He later became responsible
for the Department of Locksmiths of the Argentine Post office.
Enriqueta has danced tango for over 15 years. She presently teaches group
and private classes in Buenos Aires. The classes are for both men and women.
She is an expert in Salon Tango - Milonguero Style, Tango Waltz and Milonga.
Enriqueta also specializes in teaching technique for women and has led many
courses and seminars. She performed at the Third and Fifth Metropolitan
Championships in Buenos Aires. She has done a number of performances in
Buenos Aires including at Salon Canning, Cachirulo (Maipu 444), and at the
Confiteria Ideal at the First Milongueando Festival in Buenos Aires. She has
been an instructor at Susana Miller's La Academia and presently teaches at
Maipu 444. Enriqueta has taught and performed in San Diego, Iowa, Chicago,
and at 2008 May Madness at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Enriqueta also speaks English, having lived for several years in New York
City. Enriqueta is also an artist by profession.
