From the movies Evita and The Tango Lesson, Hugo
"El Gato" Valdez, and his partner Andrea Monti,
are simply among the world's finest dancers and
teachers of the tango. They dance "Tango Salón"
with refinement and distinction, and have a
reputation for elegance, technique and
musicality. They have become real
representatives of the typical tango "porteño,"
and have made numerous Tango Tours both
nationally and internationally including
performances in Theatres, Tango Bars, and
Milongas "porteñas" such as "Bar Sur", "Palacio
San Miguel", "Café Homero Manzi", "El Club del
Golf", "El Club Torcuato Tasso", El Parakultural,
La Pulpería, Salón Canning, La Nacional, and
Glamour (W.A) among others.
They are not only excellent dancers but also
excellent teachers. Thorough and dedicated, they
know how to break patterns and technique down for
students. They have developed a teaching method
based on posture, balance, axis, weight change,
rhythm and especially the tango walk,
emphasizing interpretation of the music, and
encouraging students to express their feelings
when dancing.
They have taught in Argentina, Brazil, the
United States, including the 2004 Portalnd Tango
Fest, Central America, Europe, including the
Valencia Tango Festival 2004, Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore and
Thailand.
