His style of tango as been classified as 'Tango Estilo Villa Urquiza', reflecting his involvement in the active tango scene in the barrio of Villa Urquiza over the last 6 decades, although Alberto calls his style of dancing 'Tango de Salon'. Alberto is well respected not only for his knowledge of the tango danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires, but also for his ability to effectively communicate his knowledge in his teaching. This was recognized in his 2010 appearance at the Chicago Mini-Tango Festival, as well as at workshops in various cities in the US and Canada during his recent teaching tours. Alberto will return to Urbana IL for the third time this weekend March 11-13. His workshops will focus at the intermediate and advance levels.
