 A brief biography:

  

Oscar Casas grew up in Buenos Aires, breathing tango. His father was a milonguero who organized milongas in Parque Patricios, the original tango "barrio". Oscar is a well-known figure in the milongas of Buenos Aires, and his distinctive style is greatly admired by other milongueros.

Oscar has taught workshops and private classes in Buenos Aires, Toronto, and several American cities. 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.

Ana Miguel started her training in tango dance school of Moron Jose Neglia.  Her professional work began in 2004 when she started teaching with Pocho Pizarro.

Cachirulo a tribute to Tete Jan 2010

Don't miss the upcoming events in Spring 2010

I would like to thank all of you who participated to the workshops and the special events that I organized this past Fall with visiting dancers. It has been really great to see the enthusiastic support and interest of so many of you and I am very much encouraged that "good" tango is alive and well in our community.

I am working hard already to finalize a very busy Spring schedule which will feature all of your favorite dancers and two new exciting additions: Jorge Uzunian (who will be accompanied by Heather Whitehead) and Alberto Dassieu & Paulina Spinoso. Both Jorge and Alberto are leading representatives of the old guard of the best tango milonguero and tango salon that Buenos Aires has to offer and will bring their many years of experience to us in New York for the first time. You definitely will not want to miss this opportunity to learn from these masters of musicality and improvisation.

The preliminary program is as follows:

- Jorge Uzunian and Heather Whitehead February 2010

- Melina Sedo’ & Detlef Engel March 4th - 14th

- Alberto Dassieu & Paulina Spinoso April 2010

- Maximiliano Gluzman May 14th - 26th 2010

- Maria Olivera & Gustavo Benzecry Saba’
June 2nd - 14th 2010

- Monica Paz June 2010
