*********
FLOR ARGENTO is a professional dancer, tango teacher, curator, producer, and filmmaker with more than twenty-five years of experience. She studied History at the University of Buenos Aires.
She teaches tango in various venues, including two emblematic milongas of Buenos Aires: Milonga Parakultural and El Beso, where she founded and directed her own tango school, Besos Brujos Tango Escuela, from 2013 to 2019.
She has also worked as a guest teacher and advisor in important cultural spaces of the international tango circuit in Europe for more than twenty years.
She has participated in the official programming of the Buenos Aires International Tango Festival with her documentaries, classes, and activities.
She was part of the Ballet School ACETA, Academy of Argentine Tango Styles, of the Ministry of Culture of the Argentine Nation. She completed twenty-eight tours in Europe in the main tango circuits.
Trained as a dancer, she worked and took classes with renowned milongueros from the Golden Age of Tango, such as Nélida Fernando, Pupi Castello, Toto Faraldo, Tete Rusconi, and Carlos Gavito. From each of them she learned the richness and variety of styles within tango.
Transmitting this knowledge to future generations of dancers is part of her mission as a teacher and part of her artistic project to preserve the living heritage of Argentine culture in relation to tango.
In her productions and curatorships in the performing, visual, and audiovisual arts, she proposes an innovative and contemporary approach that gives tango a new perspective, always attentive to its value as part of the identity and history of Argentine society and culture.
Her proposal of historical heritage and memory through tango dance has the value of bequeathing to future generations not only tangible testimonies from key figures of the Golden Age of Tango, 1940-1955, but also a choreographic, bodily, and aesthetic language characteristic of the dance of the milongueras and milongueros of that time.
In this comprehensive proposal, she develops, on the one hand, a work of curation and preservation and, at the same time, a living heritage transmitted through the body, dance, and its language to future generations of dancers.
