DJ: Vijay Namasivayam . Luiza Paes was born in Brazil, studied music since she was aged six, and worked in musical education and vocal technique for many years. Her very first tango experience was in 1997 in Portland ,Oregon where she took a group class with Clay Nelson and was immediately struck by the music and fascinated by the idea of the connection in the couple. Back in Brazil , Luiza met Norberto "Pulpo" Esbrez who became her teacher and then partner for nearly 10 years. Luiza and "Pulpo" traveled the world teaching and performing in Europe, Asia, the USA, Canada, Mexico, and South America, and taught at numerous tango festivals including CITA in Buenos Aires, Portland, Las Vegas, Boston, Amsterdam, Tango del Norte in Denmark Luiza is a fun, caring and articulate instructor and teaches technique emphasizing the leader's and follower's roles, improvisation and the ability of adapting. In February 2008, Luiza started teaching and traveling on her own and her focus has been teaching musicality along with a technique that opens up possibilities for creativity in the dance. She has been very successful in generating a relaxed and humorous environment for the students to enjoy and take the most out of their learning process.
