Weekend Tango workshops Aug 19-20 with Gavito & Marcela of Forever Tango
Carlos Gavito is one of the few tangueros in the world who need little introduction. He is an internationally famous star of Forever Tango, which has played in theatres in almost every major city in the world. He is one of the few teachers from the milonguero generation of Tango dancers. Although Gavito has taught in Boston before, this is the first time he is doing so with his partner Marcela Duran. Marcela is also one of the leading dancers of Forever Tango. She has toured with Tango companies (including Forever Tango) in Japan, Europe and North America, for over 5 years, and has performed at the prestigious Teatro Colon and Teatro San Martin in Buenos Aires. (Women and men alike should not miss her women's technique class!) LOCATION VFW Mt. Auburn Post, 688 Huron Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
