Hi Anton,
I'm so glad you are giving Lampazo this exposure. Almost none of the
younger dancers today have heard of him. Al and I were students of his
and recommended that he teach at Stanford Tango Week (don't remember the
year). It was the first time he had ever been outside of Argentina. He
was such a lovely man. By the way, Al offers a DVD of Lampazo's
material: see our website www.tangobar-productions.com.
Abrazos,
Barbara Garvey

Continuing with our theme of preserving authentic tango from the best milonguero maestros
of Milonga, we will work this whole month on material from Lampazo. For those who do not
know, Lampazo was a great milonguero dancer and teacher who for many years supervised the
practica at Sin Rumbo, "La Catedral de Tango" en Buenos Aires. Known for his
particular style of milonga, he was one of the first non-professional, social dancer
milongueros to travel to Europe and the USA in the early 1990s and taught many young
dancers who are important proponents of tango today their first steps. This gave the
world a new perspective on tango. Extremely rare films from his private lessons and
practicas will be shown and background material of his most popular figures will be
discussed each week. Don't miss this rare and special opportunity to learn from the past!

In the SMART FOLLOWER Practica you will learn in the old Buenos Aires system in
which women learned from men the secrets of following, body control, posture,
elegance, precision, axis & balance, and strong and sharp embellishments
properly placed in the dance. The best female dancers such as Milena Plebs,
Guillermina Quiroga, Vanina Bilous were trained by men (mainly Todaro) and Todaro's
techniques will be a main principle in this class. Don't miss this chance to really
improve your dancing and learn in a fun environment with other followers! Men
followers are welcome.
Leaders FREE the last 20 min.(7:40)
Class #2
After the Smart Followers Practica we will have a MILONGA LISA AND VALS CRIOLLO

such as Pepito Avellaneda and Lampazo. Musicality and music interpretation will
be a main concept in the classes as well as the structure of the dance.
