Omar Vega is a highly regarded Tango dancer and teacher from Buenos
Aires, and an excellent and expressive teacher. In addition to Tango,
his speciality is Milonga with traspie (syncopations). To take advantage
of this, we have organized 5 workshops in Milonga, and 3 in Tango.
Details below.
Omar has appeared in the movie "The Tango Lesson" and also on the
"Solo Tango" TV channel. He has taught throughout the United States
and Europe, and of course in Buenos Aires, where he was on the
CITA-1999 faculty. His trademark is a calm style based on rhythmically
flowing movements with small and fast "traspie" syncopations, which
adds a surprising playfulness into his dancing, and an interpretive
interplay between the music and the movement.
