Continuing with our theme of preserving authentic tango from the best milonguero maestros of Milonga, we will work this whole month on material from Tanguito Olivetto. For those who do not know, Olivetto was a great milonguero dancer and maestro who for many years was the president of Sin Rumbo, "La Catedral de Tango" in Buenos Aires. Known for his particular style of milonga, he 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 of his dance 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!
