Orlando's exquisite style, his impeccable footwork, and the sweetness he brings to his partner and the dance are uniquely his. A dancer's dancer, he has been publicly honored by Nito Garcia, Juan Carlos Copes, and Robert Duvall as the finest of his generation. One of the first maestros to introduce salon-style Argentine tango in the U.S., Orlando inspired the fledgling San Francisco tango community in 1987, returning many times since. His home is in Rosario, Argentina,where he taught Marcelo Solis, Yanina, Diego and Gabriela.
