CHICAGO MINI TANGO FESTIVAL
April 20-22, 2007
Pedro “Tete” Rusconi is the foremost teacher of the close embrace style of Argentine Tango (“milonguero style”). Since 1995, Pedro “Tete” Rusconi and Silvia Ceriani have been dancing and teaching together. They have toured throughout Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and the United States (Ohio and Arizona), offering group and private classes and exhibitions or performances and being part of Tango Festivals. They prioritize the attention in the musical compasses, the sensibility of the body, and the liberty of the movement. Their tango waltz classes are worldwide highly appreciated. Tete is noted for his individual style of musicality, and the tango of the golden era of the 1940’s and 1950’s.
Tete and Silvia have two tango instructional videos, (www.bridgetothetango.com/bttv/tete.htm), that are used and seen by most close embrace dancers. They are: Fundamentals of Salon Tango with Tete & Silvia; and Advance Salon Tango in Waltz Rhythm with Tete & Silvia. Paul Pellicoro of New York wrote the book "Paul Pellicoro On Tango" (2002), where he discusses the masters of tango and included in the book is Tete and Silvia. The following are links to videos where you can watch Tete and Silvia perform: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJDowJI0-7s – Tete and Silvia dancing tango waltz; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alcBFsaRoPQ – Tete and Silvia dancing tango.
