Hugo “Gato” Valdez and Andrea Monti dance "Tango Salón" with refinement and distinction.
They have a well-known reputation not only for their elegance, technique and musicality,
but also for their “caminar a tierra” which has made them become real representatives
of the typical tango “porteño.” As popular teachers, they have developed, through many years
of experience and work, a teaching method based on the technique of posture, balance, axes,
weight changes, rhythm and especially on the tango walk, making emphasis on the interpretation
of the music, and encouraging the students to express their feelings when dancing.
