POCHO PIZARRO & STELLA BARBA

Pocho and Stella Pocho Pizzaro is one of the most important teachers in the modern revival of Argentine tango in Buenos Aires. He began dancing in the carnivals and the circus, and has never stopped working as a tango dancer during the last 40 years. He has influenced many young stage dancers with his approach to building lead and follow exhibition figures, and continues to tour in Europe.

BUY: Int./Adv. Tango
Pocho explores much of the fantasy vocabulary of tango: sacadas, ganchos, llevadas, boleos, lunges, poses, and more. This video has 25 figures and a long introductory section with exercises to prepare for walking, turning and posing in performance. Stella is a beautiful dancer who worked with Pocho for many years. Includes 2 dance demos with Stella, and an exhibition by Pocho with brooms. Filmed in 1997 in Buenos Aires. Produced, edited, and translated by Daniel. (approx. 90 mins).

BUY: Antique Tango
What was tango like in its early days? Pocho is most in demand these days for this "canyengue" style dance that he has been inventing to antique style tango music. The styling and steps are from Pocho's imagination, a fantasy created from his exposure to tango's canyengue style in his youth. Many foreign dancers experienced with vintage dance, as taught from old dance manuals, confirm that Pocho's style seems authentic. Pocho coaches many of the stars who are creating "antique" numbers for modern stage shows. 13 steps and 3 demo dances. Filmed in 1997 in Buenos Aires. Produced, edited, and translated by Daniel. (approx. 45 mins.)
