OMAR VEGA is a careful and charismatic teacher, 
and an exemplary salon dancer.  He has been one 
of the strongest creative forces in the tango 
revival in Buenos Aires. He has been dancing and 
teaching tango since the 1980s. He studied with 
the maestros and old milongueros in Buenos Aires, 
and his major influence was the late Pepito Avellaneda.

Omar’s style is based on the traditions of 
dancing figures that fit the space, and 
interpreting the music improvisationally. He is 
internationally famous for his extremely rhythmic 
style of dancing tango and milonga traspie.  He 
is unsurpassed in the small, intricate steps that 
make tanmgo an expressive and passionate experience.
