Nora Dinzelbacher, graduate of the National School of Dance in Argentina and co-founder of the Argentine Folk Ballet in Buenos Aires, is a beautiful dancer and an inspiring teacher, noted for her generosity, warmth and especially her genius at conveying the style and soul of the tango while perfecting its technique.
Daniel Trenner and Rebecca Shulman have gained a large following of dancers who admire their innovative approach to teaching the Argentine tango. They are each noted for their respect for the time-honored traditions of the older generation of milongueros as well as their grasp of the cutting edge styles of tango emerging in Buenos Aires today. This will be Daniel's fifth appearance at the Tango Week. Rebecca has come into her own as an exquisite dancer, clear, analytical instructor and superb translator.
The New York/Buenos Aires Connection was formed in 1990 by Pablo Aslan of Buenos Aires and bandoneonist/composer Raul Juareno from neighboring Montevideo, and is now based in New York. The addition of this ensemble offers an important element not found in most milongas of Buenos Aires: the inspiration of live music for dancing. As can be seen in the quotations on the Comments page, this band outdoes itself every year, honing its musicianship as it expands its repertoire of tango music.
