Known for having one of the best "caminatas" (walk) in
tango today and a master of enrosques, agujas, and lapices, Jorge
is also one of the few teachers of the Villa Urquiza style of tango.
This is the style made famous in the milongas at Club Sin Rumbo
and Sunderland. Marita "La Turca" has a unique musicality
and is precise in her use of adornments. They both learned from
Gerardo Portalea, "El Turco" Jose, "Milonguita",
Carlos Estevez "Petroleo", "Cachito" Montegaza,
"Finito", Jose Lampazo, and Alberto Villarrazo; the original
dancers who developed the Villa Urquiza style of tango.
As teachers, Jorge and Maria have a superb talent
for pointing out the little details that add elegance to a tango
dancer's dance. Being milongueros all their lives and having seen
and learned from the founders of the Villa Urquiza style, they have
an uncompromising view of the tango aesthetic and musicality that
is invaluable. They have taught many of the young tango stars of
today. Their daughters Geraldine Rojas (24) and Samantha Dispari
(14) are already recognized as two of the best tango dancers in
the world. Jorge & Maria have also taught Javier Rodriguez,
Sebastian Arce, and Andres Laza Moreno, to name a few)
They teach all over Europe and are based in Buenos
Aires. They can be reached at jorgeylaturca@hotmail.com
