Pedro “Tete” Rusconi is the foremost
teacher of the authentic close embrace ‘milonguero’ style
of Argentine Tango. His instructional videos
are the hallmark for 'close embrace' social dance
aficionados. He is often cited in books and articles,
for example in this excerpt from the international
tango-L list ..."What is now called Milonguero
Style, based usually on the personal style of
Tete Rusconi, appeared on the scene in 1994.
Before that, as we discovered in March, 1987,
most people in the center of the city did dance
in close embrace, but much simpler, mostly walking
and back ochos..... Then in 1994 Susana Miller
discovered Tete and began teaching and promoting
his personal style as the only 'true' social
tango; Daniel Trenner immediately brought this
idea to the US, others to Europe. ..."
Tete and his long-time
partner, Silvia
Ceriani, are
social dancers of the highest order, acclaimed
by experienced dancers worldwide. They have toured
throughout Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy,
Holland, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and the central
United States, offering group and private classes,
exhibitions and performances at prominent tango
festivals. They concentrate on the musical ‘compasses’ (rhythm,
syncopation), the sensibility of the body, and
liberty of movement. Their tango vals classes
are especially renowned. Tete is noted for his
individual style of musicality, and interpretation
of the tango from the ‘Golden Age’ of
the 1940’s and 1950’s. Silvia is
also the DJ at one of Bs As's most famous milongas-
Parakultural @ Salon Canning on Monday Nights.
I am thrilled to
host them in Woodstock and Abany, their only
upstate NY appaearance this year.
