*Horacio*


HORACIO ARCIDIACONO is the resident artist-teacher at Milonga A Media Luz,
and also one of the six founding members of La Cooperativa Milonguera. A
true Porteņo, he was born in the Buenos Aires barrio of La Boca where he
grew up listening to live tango music in his father's nightclubs. He started
dancing tango over 10 years ago in the milongas of Buenos Aires, where he
has come to be well-respected by the old-time milongueros such as Cacho
Dante and Tete as well as one of the most sought-after dance partners.



In Buenos Aires, Horacio was four years an instructor at Susana Miller's *La
Academia*, received recognition as a "young and upcoming milonguero" in a
special milonga for him and Carmencita Calderon (the 95-year-old queen of
tango), was in charge of marketing and publicity at the renowned club "El
Beso," had his own successful milonga "Glamour," and was twice a finalist in
the annual Tango Championships of Buenos Aires.

In Atlanta since 2001, he currently serves several venues--Tangueros Emory,
Milonga A Media Luz, and Milonga Pasional--as instructor and DJ, teaches his
own class at Several Dancers Core, and has been a guest instructor and
performer for the Emory University Ethnomusicology Program and the National
Ethnomusicology Conference. He also travels frequently to Buenos Aires to
maintain his dancing.

Most recently, on March 30, 2005, Horacio directed Tangueros Emory and
members of the Atlanta tango community in the sold-out and
standing-room-only show "Argentine Tango" at Georgia State University's
Rialto Center for the Performing Arts. (see

*"The goal is not to teach the students a set of steps, but rather, a way
through which, at the compass of Tango music, they can dance to a feeling.
There is no limit as to how feelings can be expressed, nor is there only one
way in which to convey them, and therefore, by learning how to translate the
feelings that already exist into the gliding fluidity of Tango, the students
will feel at ease on the dance floor from the very first lessons." *
