Kenny returns on Saturday Feb 16. He has lately been working a lot on technique, which regardless of our level, we always benefit from. Kenny comes to us from a background in HipHop dancing. Once he discovered tango - that was ten years ago, he pursued it with a passion, leading him to place in the Tango USA championship, many trips to Buenos Aires where he worked with the masters , and to many festivals in the US and abroad, as both an instructor and DJ - This summer he will be DJing at a Tango Festival in New Orleans. He has flyers for that, should anyone be interested in attending. 

 


Until later, Mary

 TANGO TOURS TO BUENOS AIRES: 


From Marcelo Solis of Berkeley: Save 10% on our March 2019 Tango Trip to Buenos AiresOur next trip: March 15 to 24, 2019

Trip is open to all levels.

Many classes are included, with the best teachers available. You will also be taken to milongas where I am a regular.
Of course, not all participants have the same level of engagement with Tango, so other alternatives are offered.   

There will also be group outings during the day, between 10:30 am and 2 pm, to explore the city, it's culture, and places relevant to the history of Tango.  

In addition to group classes, there will be time for participants to take private lessons.  

The itinerary is full, but flexible. Participants are welcome to rest when needed by choosing to skip a class or milonga in order to sleep in late or go to bed early. 

I typically organize my trips around March and October every year. The next Buenos Aires tour dates are March 15 to 24, 2019; and then September 27 to October 6.

Come to Buenos Aires and immerse yourself in the culture of Tango.
