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 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 . A beautiful video of them dancing, with Nito
BLINDFOLDED!!! can be viewed at www.tangosb.com/nitoelba.mov.
