About Anton Gazenbeek: Born in Holland but raised in Buenos Aires,
Anton's passion for traditional tango led him to start collecting all
types of photographic and video material related to tango. After nine
years, he has put together the largest and most important tango video
collection in the world (now with well over 1,500 videos from all time
periods). He has written articles for many magazines including those of
the Asociacion de Maestros, Bailarines y Coreografos de Tango Argentino,
Explore Dance in the USA , and Tango Danza in Germany . Anton is a
recognized expert and is frequently consulted by media of all types to
collaborate on articles about these topics. He has filmed 4 teaching
DVDs with historical material. He is the co-creator, artistic director
and choreographer of "The Anthropology of Tango Dance" show and "The
Argentine Tango Cultural Tour". Anton has just returned from lecturing
at the TransLation Dance International Researcher's Conference in
Hamburg , Germany, a 4 Day event bringing together tango experts,
scholars, and researchers from across the world to present their
academic findings. Anton gives lectures on the history of tango with
videos from his private collection and has been invited to give lectures
together with major tango personalities such as Gloria and Eduardo
Arquimbau, Maria Nieves and the great Juan Carlos Copes, who recently
hired Anton to compile a book about Copes' career. He is a sought-
after teacher who has taught in Europe and Asia and has recently moved
to NYC.

Place to Learn Argentine Tango" by Hudson Valley Magazine in Sept.
