MONDAY NIGHTS!!!!
WOODSTOCK TANGO IN RHINEBECK CONTINUES
MONDAY NIGHTS @ The Rhinebeck Body Bar....
7:30-9p

We're beginning a new round of Argentine Tango in Rhinebeck on Monday nights! Join us at the Rhinebeck Body Bar in Astor Square on Rt 9, for TANGO BEGINNER CLASSES 1 & 2,

7:30p-8:30p - BEGINNING ARGENTINE TANGO 1 & 2: ... we continue refining the essentials of Argentine Tango social dancing as danced in the milongas (dance clubs) of Buenos Aires, birthplace of tango. As opposed to stage tango which features very fast, extremely precise, often acrobatic moves, Argentine Tango social dancing is about the embrace and connection between two people walking together in time to the music. Concepts include embrace, connection, change of weight, walking together in rhythm, musicality, walk to the cross, ochos, with commentary & information on the history of tango, tango codes and regional resources. Instructor- Ilene Marder plus invited quests.
ALSO EXCELLENT FOR EXPERIENCED DANCERS TO REFINE TECHNIQUE OR LEARN THE OPPOSITE ROLES.

8:30p-9:00p- GUIDED PRACTICA:
A half-hour practice session to get the moves into your body.

REGISTRATION: register by emailing Ilene Marder -
imhmedia@yahoo.com ;
845 246-1122.
$15 per session.

OMAR VEGA 1959-2008


CLICK FOR SLIDESHOW

Omar was a wonderful friend and taught at Woodstock Tango many times since we began fiveyears ago. He was one of my first teachers, and became a "foundation" teacher to our community.

THIS SLIDESHOW is a small offering to remember him....the photos are from various classes he taught at Woodstock and include shots from Gayatri Martin's La Boca milonga in NYC as well

He will live in our hearts and minds, and most of all, in our dance.

Here is an unforgettable video of Omar burning up the floor with the great Daniela Arcuri, dancing to Canaro's Milonga Brava.....
