In recognition of the unique history and culture of the South Street Seaport, the newly opened AKO store + design studio, located in the pedestrian area of Front Street, will be sponsoring a weekly free tango ‘practica’ at the adjacent “Cannon’s Walk” on the pedestrian part of Front St. In Buenos Aires, the home of tango, many ‘tangueros’ sneak out at lunchtime unbeknownst to family or colleagues to catch a dance or two at a local ‘milonga’ (tango dance hall). You are invited to dance, lunch, take a free 1/2 hour beginner’s class, or to just sit and enjoy watching. The free weekly sessions will be hosted by tango teachers and directors of the "School of Traditional Argentine Tango" of NewYork, Sergio Segura and Anton Gazenbeek. Mr. Segura and Mr. Gazenbeek are the creators of “The Argentine Tango Cultural Tour” through which they promote traditional Argentine tango in the United States, Europe, and Asia. This program brings together the history of the dance, it’s music, as well as photography, art and film documentaries about tango. They are also the producers of the multimedia show "The Anthropology of Tango Dance". They have produced 5 Tango Teaching DVD’s and they own the largest collection of historic and rare tango dance videos in the world. Classes will be taught by Mr. Segura and the ‘practica’ will be guided by Mr. Anton Gazenbeek, a professional dancer, choreographer and historian. This weekly event is FREE and open to the public!
