by Tango Yak on Jul.13, 2010, under All Posts
This one takes place in beautiful San Francisco, city of the magnificent bridges and one of my favorite spots, Union Square. The schedule is jam packed with cool classes, practicas and milongas including live music as well. The teachers are a fine group and they are all well known all over the globe. Their videos on utube are quite impressive. Sebastian and Mariana, Chicho and Juana, Lucila and Rodrigo as well as Diego and Negracha. Quite a line up. You can get full details by clicking the web link below.
The DJ group includes hurricane Shorey, Avik le cool, Mitra la guapa, Lung-Kuei from NY and Mr. Ney Melo with yours truly tagging along. The organizers obviously have made a commitment to have a superior event full of talent as well as variety. The San Francisco dance community has many excellent dancers and am sure this event will draw skilled participants from all over. Great city, great event, soooo excited.

Welcome to Tango Yak!
Got addicted to Tango in the late nineties. It started with dancing and now it includes being a DJ. Tango music occupies my thoughts and energizes my spirit and I am in constant search for good music. Although I try to vary the music I play, I am heavily influenced by the style of dance in Buenos Aires as well as the music played at the milongas there so feel free to call me old fashioned. I live for Golden age music. The emotional impact of the music is what I look for in addition to the musicality.
Oddly enough, alternative music has also become a big interest especially world music. Now I DJ both categories at various festivals as well as locally in San Diego.
