Want to be able to dance confidently and feel comfortable in traditional milongas of Buenos Aires? Our teaching develops your musicality, connection, technique & improvisation with social tango, as well as insights into tango culture and critical skills to build your confidence with milonga etiquette.
He'd be seen sweeping ladies, young and old, off their feet at Buenos Aires milonga venues, such as Obelisco Tango. We'd shake our heads and wonder how he did it. Last May we saw him, as always in great form at the ripe old age of 97!! Born in 1920, he had danced to the great Golden Age orchestras playing live. Imagine that!
However, his time had to come. We heard of his passing this month through Janis Kenyon's blog.
Here is the sprightly Roberto dancing, along with a brief interview (with English sub-titles) about his life in tango.
We'll miss your gleeful smile and joyful dance, Roberto.
