Phone: (408) 739 9737 The dynamic Pulpo Esbr�z is a third generation tanguero, who has been dancing tango for nearly 18 years. His father and grandfather were both respected bandoneon players, and his own feeling for the music is evident in his work. His nickname, "el Pulpo" - the octopus, comes from his unique fluid style, which uses complicated displacements, ganchos, enganches, and the intertwining of the dancers' legs. His tango steps were first practised with rock & roll which gave him tremendous agility and a very relaxed, almost casual approach to his dance style. He is renowned in Buenos Aires and all over the world as the "King of the Ganchos" for his ability and thorough understanding of the leg work in tango. He has created and added innumerable movements to the tango vocabulary, and is continually developing his innovative technique and style. For that reason, he is considered today the most creative of the tango dancers. Luiza Paes has worked and taught with Pulpo since 1999. She teaches a creative women's technique that emphasizes the role of the follower and her connection to the leader, exploring receptiveness and availability for improvisation. Pulpo & Luiza have taught at CITA in Buenos Aires 2001-2005, and have earned an international reputation teaching throughout Europe, the United States and South Americs.
