Astrid has mentioned Ezequiel a few times in her posts.

The first time, some time ago, just by his first name and I wondered if it
was the same person I had met. Now I know it was.

I had a few classes with him and Milena Plebs a few years ago and really
found him a good natured, friendly guy. Milena seemed a bit more reserved
and serious about the lesson (no problem with that), but warm when you
talked to her a bit, and when I saw her at a milonga would smile and say
high".
No I didn't ask her to dance.
I also remember her climbing up on a chair (or was it the bar, she's fairly
small) to watch someone giving a performance.

I asked Ezequiel how I could improve my lappicito's (or little rulo's, or
whatever those little circles you draw with your foot while leading a
giro/molinet).
He said "Oh just do them faster "! ..........
Funny guy, I really liked him and so I was interested to read Atrid's
recollections of learning from him.
I'm jealous, I only took some group classes with them (and others), no
privates as I was only in Buenos Aires for a few weeks and was sampling
different things.
But yes, he is a great dancer, they both are, and the two different
personalities seem a good foil for each other (I think).

No great information or insights here, I was just inspired by fond memories
thanks to Astrid's recollections.

Thanks, Mel.
