February 24-26, 2006 Facundo and Kely Posadas are among the best-loved teachers of Argentine Tango in the world. Their warm, down-to-earth teaching style beautifully compliments their elegant tango and especially their incomparable milonga. They are Masters of one of the forms of early tango called the Candombe, which is an African-derived rhythm that is based on remnants of African music and dance brought by the Africans arriving at the Rio de la Plata in the late nineteenth century. Facundo and Kely have lived through the history and evolution of tango. They will share their unique insights about the development of the dance and music and how they survived within the framework of the tumultuous history of Argentina.
They will be teaching a full day of milonga workshops, the modern version of Candombe, on Saturday, February 25 at Northern Kentucky University Student Center. On Sunday, February 26, Facundo and Kely will teach tango and tango waltz. All workshops will be at NKU. Facundo and Kely will dance an exhibition of tango and milonga Saturday evening at the Gala.
