Bulletin, May 25, 2009

The month is coming to a close on a weekend with Diego & Negracha Lanau. 
We who were in Buenos Aires last July kept running into them.  They surely are part of the tango scene there.

Fixtures at Buenos Aires milongas, ambassadors of the close embrace "milonguero style", about which they are passionate,  Diego & Negracha share tango around the world, having just finished a tour of Europe.

With  a profound knowledge of both roles, they teach from basics to more complex sequences, as well as milonga codes,  from how to ask for a dance to enjoying a crowded dance floor, giving you the true flavor of the Buenos Aires Milongas.

The Jacobs milonga is Saturday.  The Saturday and Sunday workshops will focus on milonga and vals for all levels.
