<font size="+1"><font face="Times">Hola regional tango friends!<br>
As many of you know, starting this Friday, December 7th, I will be
organizing and hosting the monthly Albany milonga, in addition to our
regular Woodstock classes and milonga. Both Cher & Pete and Dario
& Claire asked me to do this and I am raring to go and excited
about bringing you the very best milonga in the tradition of our
Woodstock Tango events, running successfully for nearly four years now.<br>
<br>
And, in the spirit of 'Woodstock', we're calling it the Paz y Amor
Milonga, symbolizing the ongoing unity and friendship between the
Albany and Woodstock communities! We'll start at the Nia Yoga center
this Friday, and we'll celebrate the New Year with the January milonga
to be held at the larger Ukranian American Assocaition in Cohoes.<br>
<br>
As in Woodstock, my goal is always to bring you a fun, satisfying
social dance experience with good friends, good dancers from across the
region, good food and great music. The main difference from what has
gone before is that I will be bringing in more teachers for pre-milonga
classes, followed by Saturday afternoon workshops in either Albany or
Woodstock. I am particularly happy to start off with our very special
guest instructor Omar Vega...El Rey de Milonga! <details below><br>
<br>
So, hope to see you this Friday & Saturday<br>
besos,<br>
Ilene<br>

MILONGA AND TANGO TRASPIE<br>
OMAR VEGA, teacher of teachers in milonga traspie, is back in New York
after touring Europe and South America. Under his new banner,
TangoVital, (tango vee-tal), he kicks off a special Woodstock class
offerings with this multi-level class, which includes exercises in
traditional tango technique to help you dance elegantly and naturally,
and gain the musicality needed for the rhythmic variation of traspie.
One of the strongest creative forces in the resurgence of tango over
the past 15 years, Omar is known as an exemplary salon dancer who
creates all of his unique and innovative ideas on the social dance
floor, remaining "true" to the essence of social dance. He appeared in
the seminal tango film “The Tango Lesson”, dancing with director Sally
Potter, and is known as a charismatic and generous teacher.<br>
<br>
Omar is one of the new generation of dancers, but his style reflects
that of the classic milongueros of Buenos Aires. Omar considers his
tango to be based in "natural, sensual movement." He is
internationally famous for his extremely rhythmic style of dancing
milonga. <br>
Class size limited, register now.<br>
I look forward to seeing you!<br>
