[Tango-A] NA-E: Goodbye Pepito, Hello Lampazo!

[Barbara Garvey]

Hi Anton,
I'm so glad you are giving Lampazo this exposure. Almost none of the 
younger dancers today have heard of him. Al and I were students of his 
and recommended that he teach at Stanford Tango Week (don't remember the 
year). It was the first time he had ever been outside of Argentina. He 
was such a lovely man. By the way, Al offers a DVD of Lampazo's 
material: see our website www.tangobar-productions.com.
Abrazos,
Barbara Garvey

>Continuing with our theme of preserving authentic tango from the best milonguero maestros of Milonga, we will work this whole month on material from Lampazo. For those who do not know, Lampazo was a great milonguero dancer and teacher who for many years supervised the practica at Sin Rumbo, "La Catedral de Tango" en Buenos Aires. Known for his particular style of milonga, he was one of the first non-professional, social dancer milongueros to travel to Europe and the USA in the early 1990s and taught many young dancers who are important proponents of tango today their first steps. This gave the world a new perspective on tango. Extremely rare films from his private lessons and practicas will be shown and background material of his most popular figures will be discussed each week. Don't miss this rare and special opportunity to learn from the past!

>In the SMART FOLLOWER Practica you will learn in the old Buenos Aires system in which women learned from men the secrets of following, body control, posture, elegance, precision, axis & balance, and strong and sharp embellishments properly placed in the dance. The best female dancers such as Milena Plebs, Guillermina Quiroga, Vanina Bilous were trained by men (mainly Todaro) and Todaro's techniques will be a main principle in this class. Don't miss this chance to really improve your dancing and learn in a fun environment with other followers! Men followers are welcome.

>After the Smart Followers Practica we will have a MILONGA LISA AND VALS CRIOLLO only class in which we will teach all the secrets of the great milonga maestros such as Pepito Avellaneda and Lampazo. Musicality and music interpretation will be a main concept in the classes as well as the structure of the dance.
