His style was strong, athletic, fast, and powerful. In Todaro's style, both partners are equally powerfull. He was little concerned with the basic walk of a social tango. He was very proud of the speed, agility, and acrobatics of his technique. Todaro often practiced and invented new steps with other accomplished leaders like Raul Bravo. One led and the other followed, and then they switched. Out of these practices evolved a very strong, one could say almost "A-sexual" style in which there was no masculine and no feminine. Both partners were equally strong. A leader could do a follower's step, and a follower could do a leaders step. Many of todays most famous and accomplished dancers and teachers studied with Todaro. ** *About* *PEPITO AVELLANEDA:* Pepito was a very talented social dancer from the golden age famous for his milonga. His signature style consisted of playfull and creative complex figures. He was one of the first milongueros to travel to Europe to teach Argentine tango. Many of the today's famous dancers have studied with him and his figures have been modified to use on the stage. Carina Losano was one of his students.
