Special Guest Instructor Cecilia Gonzalez at Bailonga

On July 15th, our beloved Cecilia Gonzalez returns to teach at Bailonga! A phenomenal dancer and extraordinary instructor, Cecilia is one of Eugene’s favorite tango guests. She has traveled the world but always makes time in her schedule for her tango friends in Eugene! 

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.”

DJ Greg will be providing us a night of traditional music with a nuevo twist. Cecilia will also be teaching a series of workshops over the weekend of the 18th so watch eugenetango.com for more details! 

Cost for this special event will be a flat $10 but as usual, a desk shift gets you free entrance, the free passes given at Jump Into Tango apply to this event, and no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
