Please join us for this amazing opportunity: Cecilia Gonzalez teaching at Bailonga on October 22nd 7PM! A phenomenal dancer and extraordinary instructor, Cecilia is one of Eugene’s favorite tango guests.

From Cecilia’s website:

“Well respected by the tango community in Buenos Aires, she has taught and danced at numerous festivals around the world. Along the way she has partnered with some of the most famous tangueros of her generation: Osvaldo Zotto, Fabian Salas and Mariano ‘Chicho’ Frumboli, to name a few. The technical precision, fluidity, and elegance of her movements and notable capacity of improvisation characterize her dance.”
