Sunday Afternoon, August 28
Workshop 4 (1 to 2:15pm): Consecutive turns (giros) – Turns on two axes are important for the development of the waltz. The termination of such participation involves the participation of the women with respect to adornments, and the musical presence of specific movements.
Workshop 5 (2:30 to 3:45pm): Female and male sacadas – Perfect for waltz. These movements help to accentuate the musicality through the movements.
Workshop 6 (4 to 5:15pm): Walks with crosses are a sophisticated form, full of surprises and musical movement. Walks with crosses requires great technical knowledge enhancing posture and embrace; realizing the elegance of the waltz.
Please Note: Workshop topics subject to change.

About Oscar & Ana
Oscar Casas was born in Parque Patricios, a well-known tango barrio in Buenos Aires. His parents were avid tango dancers, and, in the 1950’s and ’60’s, they organized three different milongas per week, which regularly drew in 400-500 dancers. Oscar was very much influenced by his father, both by osmosis and discussion. He absorbed the code (codigo) of the milongueros, and when he eventually decided to take up the dance seriously, he already had a background and base that was the envy of many.
Oscar has a distinct style both in his dance and his teaching. He is very milonguero, and is highly respected by the old guard in the milongas of BA. He also is extremely popular with his students, who are impressed by his teaching style. He teaches with energy and humor, emphasizing concepts, specializing in improvisation always interpreting the music and respecting the character of the different orchestras. He is especially interested in the dynamics and cadencia of the dance. Everything he teaches is applicable to crowded milongas.
Ana Miguel started her Argentine Tango training in the dance school of Moron Jose Neglia. From 2005 to 2008, Ana Miguel performed in the show “Bacanazo” which was held in the Empire Theatre and the Roman Theatre in BA and she also performed as part of the show at Esquina Carlos Cardel from 2006 to 2010 in BA. Moreover, Ana Miguel has taught tango at various tango festivals and was also a tango teacher at ACETA (Academia de Estilos de Tango Argentino – Academy of Argentine Tango Styles) from 2006 to 2010.
This event will be held at the home of the Hartford Argentine Tango Society:
