• 4:18Fuller version of the giro's invention: Lavandina, a bricklayer, was roofing Petróleo's house, hauling buckets of material up by a rope run through a pulley. Watching the rope spin, he had the idea of turning the woman the same way. He and Petróleo hung a rope from a roof beam and practiced with it before trying it with a woman -- she had previously only walked around the man (the media luna/paseo/caminada); making her pivot instead gave the figure continuity, and from it came the ocho and, eventually, the enrosque.Miguel Ángel Zotto - La entrevista

• 41:45Now teaches 'Musicality Tour' workshops from audioperceptiva musical (aural-perception based musicianship, taught in Argentine conservatories but not in Europe): training dancers to feel a phrase's structure in the body -- e.g. dancing the same ocho differently across marcato-4, marcato-2 and 5/8 rhythmic feels -- rather than reading notation.Entrevista con la periodista Pepa Palazón en "La usina del tango"
