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. For more
