Tango E14 is proud to have Los Ocampo, the world-acclaimed Argentine tango artists and teachers, back from last month . They will be teaching again on Saturday 1st April the class will be on the comparing the milonguero style tango versus the salon style tango.

Los Ocampo are Mónica Romero and Omar Ocampo, a partnership of over 35 years made up of performing, teaching and sharing Argentine Tango and Folklore around the world. They have a rich dance background and began performing at an early age, meeting when they were dancers in the Carlos Copes tango company in Buenos Aires and later becoming a stage couple and marrying in 1984.

Los Ocampo divide their time between teaching at their schools around the world, touring widely and performing at prestigious international venues. They are also official adjudicators at the annual International Tango Championships in Argentina and other international competitions. They are often engaged as cultural and artistic ambassadors for Argentine music and dance. Los Ocampo are masters not only of Argentine Tango but also of Argentina’s folkloric dances, such as Chacarera, Zamba and Malambo.

Class on milonguero v. salon

In this class Los Ocampo will go over some key elements for milonguero such as embrace, dynamics, musicality and steps compared those to the timing, embrace, rhythm and music in salon tango. Undoubtedly, their vast knowledge on background, context and history in tango will be useful to illustrate where these nuanced differences and ways of dancing tango came from and how they are relevant today.
