Saturday 10th of May 2025 Tango E14 proudly present world renown teachers Monica Romero and Omar Ocampo or otherwise known as Los Ocampo. We had them 2 weeks ago on the 3rd and they are back due to popular demand! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from these warm, welcoming and topnotch maestros of tango dance.
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.
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.

Class on the Milonga Traspie
Los Ocampo were teaching 2 weeks ago and will continue guiding us on Milonga and Traspie skills. Two weeks ago they showed how Candombe affected Milonga rhythms and movements. One of the exercises was a Baldosa (a six step box) with some variations. Now we go a step further and take a more detailed look at Traspie in Milonga, and how we play with that.
Private tuition available
