This month will be Pepito Avellaneda month at the School of Traditional 
Argentine Tango. In honor of this great Maestro, we will dedicate all classes 
to him and through video projections teach his unique style of milonga lisa and 
vals. The cadence of is dance as well as a number of his most used figures will 
be explored in depth.

Pepito Avellaneda is considered to be the greatest master of milonga dance that 
ever lived. He trained all the best professional and social dancers of the 
1980s and 1990s including Carlos Copello, Alicia Monti, Miguel Angel Zotto, 
Milena Plebs, Guillermina Quiroga, Omar Vega, and Gustavo Naveira among many 
others.

Don't miss this great opportunity to see rare films of this great maestro and 
learn his secrets!

Class #1
In the SMART FOLLOWER Practica you will learn in the old Buenos Aires system in 
which women learned from men the secrets of following, body control, posture, 
elegance, precision, axis & balance, and strong and sharp embellishments 
properly placed in the dance. The best female dancers such as Milena Plebs, 
Guillermina Quiroga, Vanina Bilous were trained by men (mainly Todaro) and 
Todaro's techniques will be a main principle in this class. Don't miss this 
chance to really improve your dancing and learn in a fun environment with other
