He is a professional dancer who is a true milonguero - he loves and knows how to dance socially. He is just old enough to have seen personally how Tango was lived in the Golden Age. He grew up as a child of Tango in the way all social dancers, the Porteños, had. Indeed, he considers himself a student of Tango culture. If you can get him talking late at night in a quiet room, you will hear him speak in a rich voice that sounds like as if he is a wise old man of tango (older than how he dances!). You hear so many nuances of the culture surround and enlighten you when he talks about what he knows, what he feels. When he speaks, doors of perception open to reveal glimpses of what it is we seek to understand and feel. The man knows what Tango is. He lives the Tango at an extraordinary level.
