Why Is Gustavo Naveira Considered a Godfather of Argentine Tango?

Argentine tango is a dance deeply intertwined with concepts like those that Naveira mentioned: feelings, passion, and energy. The tango code, the code of walking, and other such ideas did not exist for the old-fashioned milonguero in a way that is outside the realm of intuition.

Los Dinzel and the Dinzel System

Of course, many others have contributed greatly to a more profound and technical understanding and appreciation of Argentine tango. Among these are the inimitable Gloria Dinzel and Rodolfo Dinzel, more popularly referred to as Los Dinzel throughout their long and unparalleled career as tango dancers. In fact, Naveira himself credits the Dinzels as his first teachers.

I insisted on creating a method and we did it! I'll tell you how it was: I went to the kitchen and he had a piece of paper and a pen... 'How do I create a method?' And there's people who criticize this, but I don't care... - Gloria Dinzel
