OMAR VEGA, teacher of teachers in milonga traspie, is back in the New
York area after touring Europe and South America. Under his new banner,
TangoVital (tango vee-tal), he offers clear and precise instruction
to all in his specialty, milonga traspie. He focuses on the
traditional tango technique
needed in footwork, the torso, and the embrace, to dance the playful,
rhythmic variations of traspie.
Omar grew up in Buenos Aires, and has been dancing and teaching tango
since the 1980s. He studied with the masters and old milongueros of
Buenos Aires.
His major influence was the late Tango maestro Pepito Avellaneda, and
Omar was one of his principal disciples. He was featured at Il
Giardino del Tango in Rome
and at Tuscany Tango in Monte San Savino, Italy in Summer 07, and was
one of the few maestros selected to teach in the prestigious Congreso
Internacional de Tango Argentino (CITA) in Buenos Aires in March 2007.
Omar has taught and performed throughout the United States and Europe
as well as Buenos Aires. He danced in the feature film, The Tango
Lesson, and has appeared in numerous stage and television productions.
