Norberto "El Pulpo" Esbrez been dancing tango for
nearly 20 years. His father and grandfather
were both respected bandoneon players, and his
own feeling for the music is evident in his work.
His nickname, El Pulpo the octopus - comes
from his unique, fluid style, which uses complicated
displacements, ganchos, enganches, and the
intertwining of the dancers legs. His tango steps were
first practised with rock & roll which gave him
tremendous agility and a very relaxed, almost casual
approach to his dance style. He is renowned in
Buenos Aires and all over the world as the
King of the Ganchos for his ability and
thorough understanding of the leg work in tango.
He has created and added innumerable movements to
the tango vocabulary, and is continually
developing his innovative technique and style.
For that reason, he is considered today the most
creative of the tango dancers.
Luiza Paes teaches a creative womens technique
that emphasizes the role of the follower and
her connection to the leader, exploring
receptiveness and availability for improvisation.
Her dance ability and her knowledge of music are
exceptional and her ability to communicate with
and motivate students is extraordinary.
As recognized masters and pioneeers of their art,
El Pulpo & Luiza have earned an international
reputation teaching throughout Europe, the United
States, Japan and South America.
