Facundo Posadas and Christy Cote

[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.

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! Also, I don't recommend these for complete beginners. If you have your basics down though, do consider coming.
