Alberto is a tango dancer with deep roots in the Buenos Aires milonga scene. He received direct transmission from legendary milongueros such as Mingo Pugliese. With over 30 years of experience, he has not only danced on countless floors but has also guided generations of dancers from their very first steps, accompanying them with care as they grew into confident social dancers – and, in many cases, into professionals.

His way of teaching tango opened the doors to the mythical Canning Salon, the emblematic milonga of Buenos Aires, where he taught for 25 consecutive years. He also taught in tango schools in the Belgrano neighborhood, where he ran his own tango school, sharing his knowledge and experience with students of all levels.

Beyond Buenos Aires, Alberto has shared his knowledge in workshops around the world, always transmitting tango as a living culture rooted in the embrace and the dance floor. His teaching preserves the essence of the traditional milonga while opening new paths for today’s dancers.
