Pulpo and Stephanie

The Argentine, NORBERTO (“El Pulpo”) ESBREZ, has almost 20 years of professional experience as a dancer, tango teacher and choreographer. He carefully researched and developed a very personal technique and style. His movements are done continuously, very round and smooth. Complex sequences of ganchos, sacadas and enganches are totally improvised. The fluidity of his style and his ability with the legs was perceived in such way at the milongas of Buenos Aires that he was given the nickname "El Pulpo" (the octopus).  His deep understanding of the legwork in tango also made him known in Buenos Aires and all over the world as "The King of Ganchos".

Tirelessly studious, he is constantly discovering and adding new movements to the tango vocabulary such as: enganches, enredadas, suspensión, the ocho "loco", crosses with change of weight and other figures that he hasn´t named yet. Today, he´s considered one of the most creative tango dancers.

Pulpo’s clear, relaxed, and humorous style of instruction helps students

achieve greater precision, fluidity and legwork.
