tango weekend with Andres (Tanguito) Cejas & Genoveva Fernandez

SATURDAY & SUNDAY, 22nd & 23rd MAY 2010

Welcome back ANDRES (TANGUITO) CEJAS & GENOVEVA FERNANDEZ!

 

The well-known Argentinean Tango Dancers and teachers are back in Newcastle to offer us an intensive weekend of tango, to help us to improve our dancing with their years of knwoledge and treat us with their performance!

Andres and Genoveva represent the purest form of Tango de Salon and are widely thought of as leading exponents of the Villa Urquiza style.

Andres had already been working as a professional dancer for many years when he befriended the famous milonguero, Pepito Avellaneda, whom he acknowledges as his first Tango maestro. Later in his career Andres worked with Osvaldo Zotto (Zotto senior), another expert in Villa Urquiza. He has been dancing with Genoveva for over 15 years and together they have travelled, performed and taught all over the world. They have worked with well-known orchestras such as Sexteto Mayor and danced with many of the leading figures in Tango; amongst them Miguel Angel Zotto (Zotto junior), Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena Ermocida, Roberto Herrera & Vanina Bilous and Los Dinzel.

Their deep knowledge of the authentic Tango movements, their collective experience at the highest level of performance and teaching throughout the world and their self-critical and exhaustive technical training make them amongst the most accomplished and grounded teachers still accessible to the non-professional student.

Andres and Geno are regular faces at Salón Canning and Sunderland Club and continue to perform in Buenos Aires and further afield. Most recently they have been working in the Buenos Aires Tango Festival 2007.

Andres and Geno are always received as old friends whenever they visit us. They are well known throughout the UK, where they have worked with Tango organisations and societies in Leeds, Sheffield Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and London.
