Mimi Santapa is one of Buenos Aires most respected and beloved teachers. She is widely known for her devotion to posture and footwork. At some point most professionals in Buenos Aires have studied with Mimi. Mimi takes pride in teaching beginners as well as professionals. Most of us have attended workshops with Argentine teachers. Many of these are traveling performers who made their names with shows like "Forever Tango." Others come to the U.S. because they can't make a living teaching tango in their own country. Unless we go to Argentina, and sometimes even if we do, we don't get a chance to study with the small number of locally famous teachers who have never had to leave home to make a living teaching tango. I am speaking of the ones who have always had more work than they could handle right there in Buenos Aires. Mimi Santapa is one of these.
We are happy to host Mimi on her first U.S. appearance in the San Francisco Bay Area. She will be in San Francisco from October 16 - 30. Workshops are scheduled for October 17,18,19 and October 24, 25, 26 in San Francisco. She will be the guest teacher at the Coyote Point Milonga in San Mateo Sunday October 19. She will be available for private lessons during the week. For more information and a schedule of classes please contact Deby Novitz at 510-757-7229 or at [email protected] or Natasha Delmar at 415-468-8000 or at [email protected].
