Alberto Dassieu, born in 1937 in a neighborhood of Buenos Aires known for its Tango dancers and singers, was exposed to Tango music and some of the best dancers at an early age. He has been dancing since he was 14 and has shared the dance floor with some of Argentina's most renown dancers, who at the time would compete to show off their style and elegance. His inspiration has come from dancers such as Gerardo Portalea, Pepe Dafonte (el pibe del Oeste), Virulazo, Copes and Miguel Angel Zotto. Alberto has a special affinity for  D'Arienzo and Pugliese,and uses their music to teach musically and rhythm.

Alberto has many dance credits to his name. He has taught at the Casa de Cultura de Ramos Mejia, participated in the filming of Evita, worked on the National Geographic documentary about Tango with Robert Duvall and a Tango documentary made by Gustavo Benzecry Sabá. He was a finalist in the Metropolitan Tango Salon championship, and choreographed for the very successful Tango show called  Milonguísimo at Confitería la Ideal. 

Currently, Alberto is dedicated to teaching, performing and sharing his passion for Tango Salon and Vals to dancers from around the world, at home and abroad.

In the words of Alberto,  My Tango is Salon style. My style of dancing is elegant, subtle, with rhythm and poetry.

"Mi tango es el de Salón.

Mi estilo es elegante, sutil, con cadencia, con poesía."
