Miriam Larici and Hugo Patyn - Excitement. Orillero.
Gloria and Eduardo Arquimbau - Masters.
Javier Rodriguez y Andrea Misse - young real tangueros. Orillero in Salon close embrace. ( Do you know their site?)
Ruben - I recommend
Brigitta Winkler or Brigitta Winkler - Close embrace, my first and beloved teacher who opened me the secrets of the dance. A must.
Andreas Amarilla and Meredith - Tango Nuevo.

Paulo Araujo - Good teacher, great improviser.
TETE (Pedro Alberto Rusconi) - Basis of true tango.
Juan Bruno - Want to know what salon and orillero styles are? Here - teacher of teachers. Only for true aficionados. Salon of 20s. Orillero.
Marcela Duran and Carlos Gavito ( Gabyto ) - Their tapes are a must! Arguably the most beautiful couple of all times.
Elina Roldan - Magic of classical steps
Pocho Pizarro - Orillero and Canyengue. Milonga. Eye opener !
