This week at Bailonga is a very special night of tango indeed! Olivia Teixeira and Fernando Lima are in town and in order to take full advantage of their visit, Bailonga is hosting a 3-hour all traditional dance this Wednesday, with them as our special guests! There will be refreshments and you are invited to bring a finger food to share with everyone. Around 8:00PM, Olivia & Fernando will be giving us the honor of a dance performance.
There will be no lessons, but we will have a beginner instructor on hand in case of any newcomers. The cost for the evening will be a flat $10.
Olivia and Fernando are Brazilian tango artists, choreographers, teachers and directors with a thirty-year career that claims several esteemed titles and awards. They currently live, teach and perform in Buenos Aires. They are founders of the EsTudo Tango method, producers of the EsTudo Tango International Congress in Buenos Aires and co-authors of the book “Themes of Argentine Tango - Argentina and Brazil.” You can find many of their acclaimed courses online under the names “Estudo Tango.” They are some of our favorite guests so we're so excited to have them back!
