Néstor La Vitola

A great milonguero from Buenos Aires who loves Pugliese’s music and shows this love when he dances to it.

Mónica Paz

She was born and raised in Buenos Aires. Tango has been her full-time profession for 20 years. She is specifically involved in Tango Milonguero style, the “real Milonguero” with chest-to-chest connection, and the style she dances each week in the milongas with the best milongueros from Buenos Aires. She feels lucky to have had that experience, especially with Carlos Gavito and Pedro “Tete” Rusconi. Nowadays, some of her partners at the milonga are “Chiche” Ruberto and Néstor La Vítola, among others.
Mónica is one of the few teachers with an academic education focusing on tango. From years of study, discussion, and dance in the milongas of Buenos Aires, Mónica learned from the old-time milongueros themselves about the genuine, authentic art form that we call Tango Milonguero. By her didactics, pedagogy, and vast experience as a teacher and dancer, she is recognized in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Washington DC; New York City; New Jersey (US); The Hague; Leiden and Amsterdam (The Netherlands); Antwerp and Brussels (Belgium); London and Bristol (United Kingdom) among others cities where she is frequently invited to offer classes, workshops, and performances of tango.
Mónica has a vast teaching experience as a follower and leader. She has developed a simple learning method for both roles, which helps the student acquire a solid base, functional and universal, of tango, allowing him/her to understand and incorporate the technique and develop a personal style. Monica masters the technique of the Tango, the Milonga, and the Tango Waltz within the Milonguero Style.
Since June 2010, Mónica has been holding PractiMilonguero, where she teaches the Etiquette of Tango in traditional milongas of Buenos Aires. In addition, she interviews living legends of tango to share their experiences and reflections with the tango world.

I was born in Argentina. Through my family and the community that saw my upbringing, I have been intimately involved with the culture of Tango all my life, and have been an Argentine Tango dance performer, choreographer and instructor for over 30 years. I profoundly love Tango dancing, music, and culture, particularly that of the Golden Era. I am a milonguero.
