Alberto Dassieu
The Teachers, teacher
born in 1937, is an accomplished maestro of tango salon, incorporating
elegance, subtiety and poetic cadence. He started dancing tango when
he was
fourteen years old, and
continues to this day. Alberto has danced to the biggest names in
tango
orchestras, Di Sarli, D’Arienzo. Has danced with many of the most
famous
tangueras in Argentina, and
frequently dances at the best milonga in Buenos Aires: Jockey Club,
Sunderland, Almagro, and many more. And has shared those same dance
floors
with
the best tangueros
of the times, including Pepe Dafonte, the intrepid Virulazo, Copes and
the
legendary Miguel Angel Zotto. Alberto and his wife, Paulina Spinoso,
have
taught and given
exhibitions in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and the United States.
Alberto
and Paulina were finalists in the Metropolitan Championship of Buenos
Aires. Paulina has
published various academic works on tango, including stories and
research
monograms. Like his partner, Alberto has not limited himself to
dancing
and teaching on the dance
floor. He has participated in a number of plays and films, including
National Geographic documentary “A Good Dancer and Lover of Our
Tango”, and the
blockbuster movie “Evita”.
Alberto now comes to the Cleveland area to share his knowlege of the
tango
dance, it’s histories and it’s culture. If you really love Tango, it
would be foolish to miss this Gran
Maestro of Tango. For all we know, Alberto could have created the very
steps we dance every day. He is one person who made tango the dance it
is
today, and why the dance is so famous
