TEACHERS: FACUNDO AND KELY POSADAS, beloved by all milongueros. They
dance with simplicity, feeling, acknowledging the man/woman communication
that is motivated by the melody; elegant, sensual, soft, and grounded. This
is tango from the golden decade , 1940-1950.
From Buenos Aires, they specialize in Candombe milonga, traspie, vals, and
original milonguero dance styles. They teach "from the heart," and their
unique personal style, charisma, and rhythm characterize true tango origins.
