The dynamic ‘El Pulpo’, a third generation tanguero, has been dancing tango for
nearly 2 decades. Norberto ‘El Pulpo’ Esbrez’s father and grandfather both were
respected bandoneon players; his dancing is innately infused with musicality.
Nicknamed ‘El Pulpo’ (the octopus) due to his uniquely fluid style -
effortlessly leading and engaging complicated movements within the tango salida
such as displacements, ganchos, enganches, enredadas, ocho ‘loco’s,
suspensións, cruces con cambio de peso … continuously intertwining his legs
with those of his partner’s. El Pulpo is renowned in Buenos Aires and
throughout the world for his thorough understanding of the balance, body
positions and partner communication fundamental to this exquisite leg work.
Already with numerous innovations in the Argentine tango world to his credit,
El Pulpo is incessantly developing his distinctive technique and style which he
will share with the Chicago tango
community and visiting tangophiles during June 24-30, 2009.
“The improvisation is me at the present moment. And, in the present moment,
there's only me and my dance partner. What dance (other than Argentine Tango)
is more true to what one feels? … I fly listening to melodies. I inspire myself
all the time in the melody. … It gives an endless freedom, something that to me
is fundamental in my dance. My dance expresses the freedom I have inside and
the music … inspires freedom.” Norberto ‘El Pulpo’ Esbrez
Pulpo’s clear, relaxed, humorous style of instruction helps students achieve
greater precision and creativity. Pulpo, a teacher at Fabian Salas’ CITA
(mid-March in BsAs) since 2001, has garnered instructional and performance
acclaim throughout Europe and South America as well as the U.S.
He now organizes Pulpo’s Tango Week each November in Buenos Aires. Find out
