Oscar Casas and Ana Miguel will be in Chicago from October 20-23 and will do workshops on October 22 & 23. We have structured the classes for the intermediate and advanced dancer. You can sign up with a partner or as individual if you take the full 6 class package which includes the milonga on Saturday evening, or purchase a full day pass. We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshops. People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner. They will also be available for private lessons during their stay. Please email Ray Barbosa at chicagomilongu...@yahoo.com if you are interested in attending their workshops or are interested in taking a private lesson.
Biography Oscar has a distinct style both in his dance and his teaching. He is very milonguero, and is respected by the old guard in the milongas of Buenos Aires. He is also extremely popular with his students, who are impressed by his teaching style. He teaches with energy and humor, emphasizing concepts, specializing in improvisation, always interpreting the music and respecting the character of the different orchestras. He is especially interested in the dynamics and cadencia of the dance. Everything he teaches is applicable to crowded milongas. Oscar's unique approach to teaching and his charismatic personality have impressed and delighted his students everywhere. He puts his heart and soul into his classes, and his students respond in kind.
