Pablo Pugliese began to dance tango at the age of nine. When his parents,
Esther and Domingo Pugliese, were invited to teach at The Stanford
University, Pablo's father was unable to travel and Pablo went in his
place, thus beginning his brilliant teaching career at the age of
fifteen. Today, at 20, he is an astonishingly beautiful dancer and an
exceptionally good teacher.
Pablo's parents, Esther and Domingo Pugliese, are among the most honored
and respected milongueros of Buenos Aires. They are the last students of
Carlos Estevez ("Petroleo"), a revered master who reinvented the tango in
the 1940s. The Puglieses dancing and teaching is special not only because
of their importance in the cultural history of tango, but also because of
the integrity of their knowledge and their ability to present to their
students the structure of the dance according to the rules of logic. Their
technique works equally well for everyone from awkward beginners to the
stars of the stage.
Traditionally, Argentine tango is improvised; i.e. all the movements are
invented in the moment. The Pugliese's instruction always emphasizes this
improvisation, making it easy for the students to understand the
interchangeable parts of any phrase of movements.
Pablo absorbed very early the high quality of technique and understanding
that his parents manifest. He observed their teaching in countless classes
and practice sessions, and gradually began to help them. As a young
dancer, Pablo was featured in several television shows which were broadcast
all over the world - "Pablo, L'Incognito Du Tango" (1992), "Te Acordas
Cesar" (1994), and "La Aventura Del Hombre" ( 1994). Among his early dance
accomplishments was his first performance at the age of eleven at a
prestigious ceremony in honor of the tango legend Carlos Esteves
("Petroleo"), numerous performances with tango shows at the major theatres
of Buenos Aires such as Teatro Presidente Alvear (1991), Juan Carlos Copes
show "Tango, Danza y Juventud" at the Astral Theatre (1993), and at Teatro
San Martin with the Tango Express Dance Company and the orchestra of Daniel
Binelli, a bandoneon player of Astor Piazzola (1998). Pablo has also
performed in every prestigious tango club in Buenos Aires - Club Almagro,
La Galeria del Tango, Club General Belgrano, Taller El Cantaro, Club
Glorias Argentinas, and many more. He won a gold medal in Torneos
Juveniles Bonaerenses Championship organized by the Ministry of Government
and Justice of Buenos Aires and auditioned and was selected to dance for
Alan Parker's film "Evita". And the list goes on
In 2002, Pablo had graduated from the Alvin Ailey School of Contemporary
Dance in New York and performed with a modern and tango dance company in
Buenos Aires and Caracas, Venezuela
To this enormous expertise, Pablo adds his own authentic search for the
new interpretation of the dance, his passionate artistic expression and the
boundless energy of his youth.
