Milonga Workshops w/Facundo Posados

[Donna Agoitia]

2 Wednesday Workshops with Facundo Posadas and Christy Cote

Facundo Posadas is an icon in the world of Argentine Tango and the
only Afro-Argentine traveling the world to share the roots of this
dance by teaching Milonga and Candombe. Robert Farris Thompson writes
of Facundo in his book Tango:The Art History of Love "today's master
of Argentine tango, milonga, and jazz dance" and tells of the rich
history of the Posadas family dating back to the 1800s. Facundo
starting dancing at a young age and enjoyed dancing in Buenos Aires
all his life. He danced with many of the great orchestras such as
that of Jose Basso, Anibal Troilo, Osvaldo Pugliese, Juan D'Arienzo,
Carlos DiSarli, Miguel Calo, and Jose Colangelo. Since 1997 he has
traveled extensively teaching and performing at festivals and tango
communities around the world such as the Miami Tango Fantasy (8
years), Tango Society of Boston (9 years), New York City's La Nacional
(5 years), and Triangulo Tanguero of North Carolina (6 years). He has
also been in 6 films including Tango The Obsession in which Facundo
also narrates, Tango Un Giro Extranio, Despabilate Amor Afro-
Argentinos, Negro Che and El Cafe de Los Maestros (by Gustavo
Santaolaya filmed in the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires). He has also
been featured in many television shows for Buenos Aires television as
well as the BBC in London.

Christy Cote is one of San Francisco's premier Tango maestras. She has
been head of the Argentine Tango program at Metronome Dance Center and
continues to be in it's new name of Cheryl Burke Dance Center. She has
a line of instructional DVDs with George Garcia amongst many other
publications.

Note from Donna: I am deeply honored and excited to have this
opportunity to bring Facundo to our community. I do hope you will take
advantage of these workshops with one of the best milonga maestros in
the world!
