Remember the saying "When E.F Hutton speaks, everyone listens' "?. For decades while in it's heyday E. F. Hutton & Co. was among the largest and most respected financial firms in the United States. These days in New York City Junior Cervila may well be the E.F Hutton in it's prime of Argentine tango. When he teaches, people show up and they listen intently, parsing his words and actions for anything of personal relevance that will lift their technique to the next level.
Junior does not disappoint.
Recently I had the opportunity to photograph Junior's dazzling performance with Rachel Greenburg at the 'All Night Milonga' a grand local stage befitting his stature. The brainchild of host Sarah La Rocca this monthly event has long been a premier tango destination in the North East if not the entire continent. It is solidly among the best and undoubtedly the best attended of the community's regularly scheduled activities. Sarah is among the strongest and most experienced of our local tangueras and has quite a storied past. Her placid manner, graceful dancing and easygoing style belies a deep reserve of strength, passion and dedication to her many projects and causes. She is one of our community's luminaries who's heart and mind seem always to be in exactly the right place.
Junior and Rachel also partnered for the pre-milonga class while D.J Yesim owned the booth and skilfully accompanied the bevy of dancers around the nicely crowded room.
By the way Rachel, killer shoes.
