Pedro “Tete” Rusconi is the foremost teacher of the authentic close
embrace ‘milonguero’ style of Argentine Tango. His instructional videos
are the hallmark for 'close embrace' social dance aficionados. He is
often cited in books and articles, for example in this excerpt from the
international tango-L list ...
"What is now called Milonguero Style, based usually on the personal
style of Tete Rusconi, appeared on the scene in 1994. Before that, as we
discovered in March, 1987, most people in the center of the city did
dance in close embrace, but much simpler, mostly walking and back
ochos..... Then in 1994 Susana Miller discovered Tete and began teaching
and promoting his personal style as the only 'true' social tango;
Daniel Trenner immediately brought this idea to the US, others to
Europe. ..."
Tete and his long-time partner, Silvia Ceriani, are social dancers of
the highest order, acclaimed by experienced dancers worldwide. They have
toured throughout Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, Spain,
Belgium, Sweden and the central United States, offering group and
private classes, exhibitions and performances at prominent tango
festivals. They concentrate on the musical ‘compasses’ (rhythm,
syncopation), the sensibility of the body, and liberty of movement.
Their tango vals classes are especially renowned. Tete is noted for his
individual style of musicality, and interpretation of the tango from the
‘Golden Age’ of the 1940’s and 1950’s. Silvia is also the DJ at one of
Bs As's most famous milongas- Parakultural @ Salon Canning on Monday Nights.
I am thrilled to host them in Woodstock and Albany, their only upstate
NY appearance this year.
