Oscar Casas will be arriving Thurs, June 8th and staying thru Tuesday June 13th. Oscar has an elegant style of dancing distilled from dozens of grand maestros of Tango in Buenos Aires and he enthusiastically and humorously shares these secrets with his students. You can travel to Buenos Aires and take classes with him at the famous El Beso in Buenos Aires, or take advantage now to study with him right here, in English. People travel from all over the world to take classes from him in Buenos Aires - but you can take his classes right here - classes that are designed for the Twin Cities tango scene! It is rare that we have access to such a high quality instructor. Take as many classes as you can - we don't know when he can come back!
A word about levels: Some have asked me whether they are good enough to take these classes. Yes, you are! We'll change partners frequently. If you become overwhelmed, Oscar (and I) will be there to help. If the class becomes too difficult or we are moving on too quickly, you can continue to perfect what you learned - you do not need to move on.
