Hi Tangueros
I am excited to announce that Libertango will be hosting an tango teacher from Buenos Aires from 20 to 26 October. Cape Town tangueros will enjoy a range of workshops, milonga and performances. Fernando Gabriel Romero (Chucky) hails from Rosario (the home town of Che Guevara!) and has taught at the DNI school of Buenos Aires (http://dni-tango.com) . Since leaving DNI almost two years ago he has been developing his dancing and teaching independently. Currently based in Europe, Chucky has been teaching in Ireland and recently performed at the Tango en Punta Festival in Bregenz, Austria. This is a wonderful opportunity for Capetonian tangueros to take your dancing one step further- to deepen your technique, and appreciation of the dance and to improve your movement. Let's celebrate the beauty of the dance and dive into this expansive art form. Chucky has been invited to South Africa by Erik Peers in Johannesburg and will be assisted by Gail Walters in the workshops. Watch a recent video of Chucky dancing with Sayaka Higuchi.

Libertango aims to expose Capetonian tangueros to as many good tango teachers as possible so that we can develop as dancers and enjoy the infinite richness of tango. I have taken lessons with Chucky in Buenos Aires and can vouch for his good teaching methods. Chucky will also offer private lessons at R450 per hour. Please book with me.
Please see the programme below.
