Nora DINZELBACHER & Ed NEALE

Master of Tango

Nora Dinzelbacher received her Master of Dance degree at the National School of Dance, Buenos Aires. Upon graduation in 1973 she joined the Argentina Folk Ballet and was invited to form a dance partnership with the company's Artistic Director, Raul Dinzelbacher from whom she learned Tango and later married.

Nora teaches extensively at universities, colleges and tango associations throughout the United States and Europe and in 1999 was invited to Japan and Germany. She is the co-founder of the Bay Area Tango Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the traditions of Argentine culture.

Each year, Nora escorts a group of tango students to Buenos Aires for instruction with the tango Masters, and familiarization of the culture of Argentine life and history.

In 1998, following the termination of Stanford University's Tango Week, Nora teamed up with the late Bob Moretti as business partners and launched their first Nora's Tango Week. After five years, Bob retired from Nora's Tango Week, but remained as Senior Consultant to Nora.

Nora welcomes both seasoned and beginning tango enthusiasts to her popular annual event Nora's Tango Week and Weekend.
