Dancer

Martha Anton

Martha Anton (also given as Marta Antón) was a tango dancer and teacher, born on 31 May 1939 and recorded as having died on 7 February 2015 [5][2]. She danced with Luis Grondona in the 1990s, including in the film Funes, un gran amor and on Alan Parker's Evita, and taught canyengue with him at Galería del Tango [2][4].

Martha Anton was a tango dancer whose recorded activity spans teaching, film work and partnerships with several dancers [1][2]. Her name appears in the sources both as Martha Anton and as Marta Antón [1][2].

She was born on 31 May 1939 [5]. Around 1945 her family settled in Floresta, Buenos Aires [2]. In 1986, together with Antonio Todaro, she received the first group of 22 Dutch students from Amsterdam [3]. During the 1990s she worked with Luis Grondona on film projects, and in 1999 the two taught canyengue at Galería del Tango [2][4]. She died on 7 February 2015 [2].

Early life

Martha Anton was born on 31 May 1939 [5]. Around 1945 her family settled in the Floresta district of Buenos Aires [2].

Career

In 1986 Anton and Antonio Todaro received the first group of 22 Dutch students who came from Amsterdam [3].

In 1993 she danced with Luis Grondona in Funes, un gran amor [2]. In 1996 she worked with Grondona on Alan Parker's Evita [2]. In 1999 she taught canyengue with Grondona at Galería del Tango [4].

Dance partners

Besides Luis Grondona, a video listing records Anton as partnering the following dancers [1]:

- Gallego Manolo [1] - Cacho Pistola [1] - Manolo Salvador Ella [1] - Manuel Salvadór [1] - Marta Anton [1]

The partnership with an entry titled "Marta Anton" shares a variant of her own name, and the available material does not establish whether the entries for Gallego Manolo, Manolo Salvador Ella and Manuel Salvadór refer to separate people [1][2].

Dance notes

The only stylistic information in the sources is that in 1999 Anton taught canyengue with Luis Grondona at Galería del Tango [4].
