He is considered the master of rhythm and is internationally famous for his extremely rhythmic style of dancing Milonga Traspie. He is unsurpassed in the small, syncopated steps that make Milonga an expressive and passionate experience. His trademark is a calm style based on rhythmically flowing movements with fast "traspie." His use of Traspie Technique allows the dancer to play with the beat within the traditional core of Tango. In Milonga and Tango Omar Vega teaches beautiful small steps which can be danced anywhere. His style is based on the Buenos Aires traditions of dancing figures that fit the space and interpreting the music improvisationally. Omar is celebrated as a careful and charismatic teacher, and has taught extensively in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and Boston, as well as in cities in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. He has also made many appearances on television and film, including dancing with film maker Sally Potter in The Tango Lesson. These workshops with Omar Vega are a must for all who seek the authentic experience of Buenos Aires Salon Dancing. ***** -- Michelle & Carlos Recuerdo Tango Club
