Grounded, sensual, and musical expression emanates from Javier's dancing and is reflected in the faces of his partners on the dance floor. Javier has performed regularly at such renowned tango venues as Cafe Tortoni and Bar Sur as well as one of tango's historical sites - Caminito (La Boca). In the past four years he has traveled throughout the U.S. and in Japan and Spain to teach classes, founding a milonga and starting tango activity in Seville. He has also had a full teaching schedule at home in Buenos Aires, including classes with the Grupo Graciela Gonzalez, for the Festival de Tango de la Ciudad Buenos Aires in the San Martin Theater and at the University of Quilmes. This fall he has been teaching with Cristina Cortes at the Escuela Argentina de Tango. Javier's fluid and intimate style of dancing defies easy classification. He seamlessly integrates a variety of influences, making his insights valuable whether you consider yourself a devotee of milonguero style or a nuevo tango renegade. When he began dancing over 12 years ago, Tete was one of his most influential teachers. Javier's drive to further understand the mechanisms and technique of the dance led him to Graciela Gonzalez, with whom he has studied extensively. Watch carefully and you can pick up the influence of Tete's style in Javier's embrace - a touch of sweetness and light that somehow blends perfectly with the melancholy soul of tango - and of Graciela's genius in Javier's teaching - a practical understanding of how the body moves and how to communicate complex concepts to students of all levels. As one who has come the long road from novice to professional, Javier has a unique and compassionate perspective. His students praise him for the exceptional personal attention that he provides even in group classes, and for his patience, his practical approach, and his warm sense of humor.
