They have earned an international reputation teaching and performing throughout Europe, the United States, Japan and South America. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The dynamic Pulpo Esbréz 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, ³el Pulpo² 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 ³King of the Ganchos² 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Luiza Paes has worked and taught with Pulpo since 1999, and she is now recognized as anoutstanding teacher in her own right, who is dedicated to her art and her students. She teachesa creative technique that emphasizes the role of the follower and her connection to the leader,exploring receptiveness and availability for improvisation.
