ABOUT MAXI & MILVA:
Milva Bernardi
and Maximiliano Gluzman are two young milonguer(o/a)s from Buenos Aires,
the city where they live and dance. They represent the new generation of
Milonguero style dancer. The tango that Maxi and Milva transmit is based
upon communication between dancers in a continuously close embrace, musical
interpretation and respectful navigation in the dance floor. Consequently,
their lessons are based on posture, leading and following, and musicality
as a source of creativity. They focus on improvisation as key to develop a
dance that is fun and enjoyable for the couple, while they can still
comfortably circulate in a limited space. They travel regularly to Europe
to teach and perform. This is their second tour to the USA.
Milva Bernardi
started dancing in 1996. She studied formally with great Argentinean
teachers such as Eduardo Capussi, Celia Blanco and Graciela Gonzalez, among
others, but feels that her ultimate school was the milonga portena, where
she danced with the most experienced milongueros, discovering the secrets
of their body language. She has taught classe with renowned milongueros
such as Enrique Rosich, Ruben Harymblat, Ricardo Vidort, Raul Poli and the
world famous Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi.
Maximiliano Gluzman started dancing in 1997. He
soon discovered milonguero style and studied with the most renowned Argentine
teachers in this style: Susana Miller, Ana Maria Schapira, Pedro 'Tete'
Rusconi, Pocho y Neli, Ricardo Vidort and Jorge Kero. Even if his main
source of practice has been dancing in the milonga through endless hours,
he has also embraced teaching as a main activity. He teaches at Susana
Miller's La Academia in Buenos Aires at all levels as well as with Milva
Bernardi. Maximiliano is one of the organizers of the International
Milonguero Meeting that took place in Buenos Aires in February 2007. Maxi also
DJs at the milonga El Beso in Buenos Aires.
