A Puro Tango,  founded by Linda Valentino, is dedicated to preserving and promoting authentic Argentine Tango, Milonga and Vals Cruzado as they are really danced in the clubs of Buenos Aires.

Linda teaches regular classes in Los Angeles and Pasadena.  She co-sponsored the first Buenos Aires-style "milonga" (tango dance party) in Los Angeles from 1994 to 1996. She started bringing master teachers several times a year to Los Angeles from Buenos Aires in 1992, and provided the first opportunities for many of those instructors to teach and perform in the United States.

Among the instructors Linda has brought to Los Angeles: Miguel Zotto and Milena Plebs, Pablo Veron and Noel Strazza, Carlos Copello and Alicia Monti, Nestor Ray and Patricia Garcia, Julio Balmaceda and Corina De La Rosa, Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida, Milena Plebs and Ezequiel Farfaro, Gloria and Eduardo Arquimbau, Diego Di Falco and Carolina Zokalski, Leandro Palou and Andrea Misse, Coco Diaz and Delphine Robin, Aurora Lubiz and Jorge Firpo, Gachi Fernandez and Sergio Cortazzo, Danel and Maria Bastone, Juan Carlos Copes, Brigitta Winkler, Omar Vega and Valeria Solomonoff.


From 2001-2003, Linda organized and sponsored TANGO FIREWORKS WEEK, Southern California's only week-long tango festival, featuring some of the greatest tango teachers from Buenos Aires and the best tango orchestra in the world today, Color Tango. Each year, Tango Fireworks drew over 350 people for classes and over 500 people for the milongas and special closing night dinner show.
