Luiza Paes, a Brazilian-born, music student since age six, worked in musical education and
vocal technique for many years. Her very first tango experience was in 1997 in Portland,
Oregon where she took a group class with Clay Nelson and was immediately struck by
the music and fascinated by the idea of the connection in the couple. Back in Brazil,
Luiza met Norberto "Pulpo" Esbrez who became her teacher and then partner for nearly
10 years. Luiza and "Pulpo" traveled the world teaching and performing in Europe, Asia,
the USA, Canada, Mexico, and South America, and taught at numerous tango festivals
including CITA in Buenos Aires, Portland, Las Vegas, Boston, Amsterdam, Tango del Norte in Denmark
Luiza has recently been teaching at Tango de Los Muertos in Boston, and Tango
Masquerade in Los Angeles. She is a fun, caring and articulate instructor and teaches
technique emphasizing the leader's and follower's roles, improvisation and the ability of
adapting. Since February 2008 she started teaching and traveling on her own and her
focus has been teaching musicality along with a technique that opens up possibilities
for creativity in the dance. She has been very successful in generating a relaxed and
humorous environment for the students to enjoy and take the most out of their learning process.
Luiza Paes will also be teaching classes at The Beat/Berkeley (Nov 17 & 22),
Mission Blue/Brisbane (Nov 18) and Just Dance Ballroom/Oakland (Nov 21)
