Pedro Tete Rusconi is the foremost teacher of the close embrace style of
Argentine Tango (milonguero style). Since 1995, Pedro Tete Rusconi and
Silvia Ceriani have been dancing and teaching together. They have toured
throughout Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, Spain, Belgium,
Sweden and the United States (Ohio and Arizona), offering group and private
classes and exhibitions or performances and being part of Tango Festivals.
They prioritize the attention in the musical compasses, the sensibility of the
body, and the liberty of the movement. Their tango waltz classes are worldwide
highly appreciated. Tete is noted for his individual style of musicality, and
the tango of the golden era of the 1940s and 1950s.
Tete and Silvia have two tango instructional videos,
(www.bridgetothetango.com/bttv/tete.htm), that are used and seen by most close
embrace dancers. They are: Fundamentals of Salon Tango with Tete & Silvia; and
Advance Salon Tango in Waltz Rhythm with Tete & Silvia. Paul Pellicoro of New
York wrote the book "Paul Pellicoro On Tango" (2002), where he discusses the
masters of tango and included in the book is Tete and Silvia. The following are
links to videos where you can watch Tete and Silvia perform:
