His mother, Ann (née Freeman), who is of English and German ancestry, was a homemaker. His father, Jan Anton Gazenbeek, came from an aristocratic Dutch background and moved to the United States in the 1960s. His paternal grandfather, Anton Jan Gazenbeek, was one of the most renowned figures in Dutch aristocracy of the early to mid- 20th Century. At the age of 11 Gazenbeek fell in love with tango music and started a decade-long immersive study of the dance being trained in Buenos Aires by the very pioneers who had created the dance. He studied at the San Francisco Academy of Ballet under famed ballet masters Richard Gibson, Zory Karah, Ken Delmar and Elizabeth Gravelle. At age of 16 he made his professional debut at Harvard University with the great dancer Guillermina Quiroga for the world premier of Luis Bacalov's "Misa Tango". This opened the door to many high profile performances in the coming years which included performances in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Gazenbeek's roots are in the milonga (social tango dances). As a young boy, he attended milongas five, six, sometimes seven nights a week and studied ballet during the day. He is a very rare case in the dance world in that his dance style combines a very classical aesthetic and line with authentic milonguero roots. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antón Gazenbeek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
