I Promotori del Napoli Tano Tango
Festival
Stefi Donisi
Milonga Porteña
Associazione Tamotango
Stefi Donisi ,
a Neapolitan engineer "emigrated" to Rome, started his career
as a dancer, teacher and choreographer at the Argentinean
Tango centre "Astor Piazzolla" in Rome.
After a thorough learning under the best international teachers, he started giving
tango classes, on behalf of the "Astor Piazzolla" centre in the most important
dance schools in Rome. He has often worked with Eva Perez in various shows and
dance events in Germany, also teaching a high number of stages.
He started teaching on his own in 1997, when he opened a tango school in Naples.
Since 1999, he left his position as an engineer in a company in Rome and, back
in his city of origin, entirely devoted himself to teaching tango, this form
of art which changed his life.

| Much more than just a dance, he regards
tango as a way of communicating deep feelings, as well as a
manner of playing and improvising within the dance couple,
beyond verbality and manipulation. For this reason, his school
is having an enormous success in a city, such as Naples, which
finds in the participative attitude to communicate one of its
most marked traits of identity. |
Tango in Naples
When Stefi Donisi opened his school in Naples,
tango was poorly known in the city. It was an elitarian leisure
activity carried out by few dozens people. In his first class,
Stefi had ten students, and soon numbers grew. In four years
of teaching, the number of people who were introduced to
the dance is of about 500 and his school has about 100 students
now. |

In these years Stefi Donisi
organized and carried out countless initiatives in order
to promote Argentinean tango: shows with Neapolitan dancers
and with artists of world renown, as Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena
Ermocida, Guglielmo and Maira, Marta Antòn and Luis
Grondona, Nestor and Patricia Ray.
He took part in many initiatives and shows
in various theatres. For example, Teatro Augusteo, Teatro "Tasso",
Terme di Agnano, Galleria Umberto I, S.Severo al Pendino
church, Villa Comunale in the context of the Maggio dei Monumenti
2000 event, Conservatorio di S.Pietro a Maiella (with the
trio Novi Tango of Hugo Aisemberg), the "Rassegna di musica
nei salotti napoletani" music review, in collaboration with
the Associazione Musicisti Italiani del teatro San Carlo,
Napoli Strit Festival - International review of Street Arts
(organized by the City of Naples) for the years 1999 and
2000, Ciao 2000 (in occasion of the New Year 2000) in Piazza
del Plebiscito (Naples), TanghInGalleria (march 2000, show
organized by the City of Naples), Teatro Nuovo during the
Festival Latino Americano, Teatro Comunale of Benevento,
Auditorium of the teatro Bellini, Teatro Comunale of Caserta.
He teaches tango at the theatre school of Renato Carpentieri,
with whom he took part in one occasion to the TV serial "La
squadra". He organised the first NapoliTano tango festival.
In 2003 his school was granted the quality certificate of
the "Academia Nacional del tango argentino", a
government institution of Buenos Aires.
