Tango E14 is proud to have Los Ocampo, the world-acclaimed Argentine tango artists and teachers, back for a special celebration. They will be teaching again on Saturday 24th June the class will be on how to be playful and fun in your dancing.
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.
Party alert
Next Saturday, 24th June, we have a special party afternoon, with guest teachers ‘Los Ocampo’. They will teach a fun class, and of course we will do some ‘Chacarera’ as well as our usual social milonga. This is also an opportunity to celebrate Tango E14 being awarded recognition by the AMBCTA (Associacion de Maestros, Bailarines y Coreografos de Tango Argentino – Association of Teachers, Dancers and Choreographers of Argentine tango). We are honoured to be given this special award by Monica Romero, who is Vice-President of the AMBCTA. We invite you all to come and celebrate together.
