We are really lucky to have highly regarded dancer and teacher Andres' Tanguito' Cejas come to teach a 3 hour progressive class looking at individual technique, through to securing good couple technique and embrace within a combination of movements.

Tanguito represents the purest style of Argentine Tango. A highly respected milonguero, together with his wife and partner Genoveva, has worked with the some of the best known orchestras, among which that of master Mariano Mores, Sexteto Mayor, Berlinghieri-Baffa, Raúl Garello, José Colangelo, Sexteto sur and others.

Andrés acknowledges as his first tango teacher the famous milonguero Pepito Avellaneda. He later worked with Osvaldo Zotto's as his assistant teacher from 1992 to 2001. During this period they worked together to record the now famous course "Así se baila el tango", for the channel "Solo Tango".

Much loved in Buenos Aires, they were honoured on the "Dia del Milonguero"for the authenticity of their dance, which captures the grounded traditions of Tango whilst maintaining a personal originality.
