El Flaco Dani
(8 May 1936 – 10 December 2019)
His real name is Daniel García, but we all know him as El Flaco Dany, a milonga icon that has stumbled around the world.
A prototype of the porteño, he was born in the neighborhood of La Paternal.
He used to divide his life between Europe and Argentina, more precisely between Bucharest and Buenos Aires.
His many years as a habitué of the milonga gave him a great advantage in the tango salón teaching field.
His style has been polished by his uninterrupted fifty years of dancing.
