Introduction to Nito y Elba Garcia Excellent representatives of the Golden Age of Argentine tango, Nito y Elba Garcia even now outclass any young dancer. Their elegance and mastery have been lauded in Europe, Israel , Japan and Russia in addition to Argentina and the USA . They have danced with many orchestras including Maestro Osvaldo Pugliese’s. Nito y Elba’s style - “Salon with Fantasia” - is rooted in traditional fundamentals elevated with their remarkable grace, fluidity, and creativity. Always in search of new steps, Nito y Elba have created many unique movements for Argentine tango. For example, Nito's famous ‘taquitos’, not to mention his impeccable ‘pencil enrosques’, always are met with a storm of applause. Nito y Elba travel around the world teaching their students to improvise as they dance, to feel the music as they embrace each other. Classes with Nito y Elba will provide dancers of all levels new elements to incorporate into their dance, as well as a profound technical retuning. Affectionately nicknamed the “teachers’ teachers”, Nito y Elba have been invited to teach at CITA every year and are highly in demand as private coaches for professional couples in throughout the world. Prior to their summer 2006 tour, they were performing in the tango show at the Esquina de Carlos Gardel in Buenos Aires .
