Please consider joining us in Philadelphia for 6 days of wonderful activities with Nito & Elba Garcia, August 20-26.
Nito Garcia learned tango the old-fashioned way, watching his uncle and aunt dance on a packed-earth patio in the province of Buenos Aires more than half a century ago. As a young man in the 1950, he polished his skills in the dance halls of Buenos Aires, was a principal dancer with the orchestra of Osvaldo Pugliese, and later moved to Mar Del Plata, on the coast of Argentina, where he continued to perform and teach. Nito and Elba met in 1973 and soon married and began dancing together. Over the past 40 years, they have become one of the most highly respected and beloved tango couples worldwide. A list of the festivals and shows that they have starred in on every continent would go on for several pages. Highlights of their visit to Philadelphia include: ** 8 workshops focusing on different aspects of Nito & Elba's exquisitely elegant form of Salon Tango ** A lecture on tango history ** Private Lessons ** A milonga at the beautiful Ruba Club, featuring a performance by Nito & Elba, and with DJ Marc Hussner.
