GUSTAVO BENZECRY SABÁ & MARÍA OLIVERA In San Francisco & Bay Area

We’re touring the USA for the second time this year, teaching, performing
and doing lectures about the history of Tango Dance and representing the
authentic way of “Tango Salón”, as it is danced in the milongas of Buenos
Aires. 

Also featuring Gustavo’s book, Embracing Tango – Techniques and metaphors
between Tango and life., which is the first written approximation to the
original Tango Salón style, that has been danced in Buenos Aires for over a
hundred years. It includes the explanation of 6 basic sequences as well as
articles related to the embrace, the improvisation, the dance floor and the
surrender. It is finally the first written guide to the so-called “milonga
codes” (the etiquette), the rules of behavior and interaction of people in
the context of the “milonga”. This book is going to be available to purchase
during our staying in San Francisco.
