Become a tango octopus - study El Pulpo

[David Jencks]

Saturdays 4 - 5 starting June 6 2026

North Portland Odd Fellows Lodge

4834 N Lombard St


“El Pulpo” Norberto Esbrez, from the first tango revival generation, was famous or perhaps infamous for his continuous figures with fluid leg contact.

We will work through the three instructional videos he made with Luisa Paes available on Daniel Trenner’s Tango Archive.
As well as his remarkable figures, these present quite a bit of how he thought about the structure of what he was doing.
I estimate this will take between 6 and 12 months.

The sessions are free but I suggest that you subscribe to the videos for the duration of the class.
