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
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.
