The Memphis Argentine Tango Society Presents
Angel Montero Angel started studying tango in early 2002, and discovered the "close embrace" style in 2003, after taking classes with several teachers brought to Atlanta by Barbara Durr (Brigitta Winkler, Alicia Pons and Susana Miller). He has been a student in Barbara's class ever since, and he started collaborating in the class in May 2004. He has also taken classes with Cacho Dante, Ricardo Vidort, and some of the best "close embrace" teachers in the US, like Robert Hauk, Robin Thomas, Christopher and Caroline, and Tomás Howlin. His curiosity for tango has taken him to study with teachers of other tango styles. In addition to teaching with Barbara, Angel also DJs at several milongas in Atlanta and has been invited to DJ and teach in Memphis; St. Louis; Durham, NC; Augusta, GA; Ann Arbor, MI; Charleston, SC and Salamanca (Spain). Angel is a co-organizer of the Atlanta Tango Festival, one of the best new tango festivals in the US.
