Jan 1 New Year's Day: Burak Ozkosem (Chicago) & Mariana Galassi

Our stars this week are Burak Ozkosem (Chicago) and Mariana Galassi (NYC)

Class at 8.30, included with admission.

Upper Level

Performance at Midnight

DJ Tine

Holiday drinks on Special!

More about our stars:

Burak Ozkosem, El Turco, is recognized for his creative and expressive style and his bold and sensitive interpretations of both traditional tango music and the eclectic, non-traditional music that he incorporates into his djing and instructional repertoire. He is a popular and attentive teacher. His current focus is to develop Tango Nuevo analysis methods and to understand and teach the essence of Argentine Tango more effectively to general public audience.

Though he is considered a virtuoso of "Tango Nuevo", in his dancing Burak is not adding anything new or "modern" to Tango. Every movement he uses is taken strictly from the Tango vocabulary. He respects the music and responds in the traditional places; his syncopa, or rhythm, is flawless. What he does is deconstruct the usual tango marcado (marking) and reconstruct it in his own surprising way.

Burak’s nontraditional use of the vocabulary prompts curiosity, and inspiration for

other dancers.

He is the creator of the Chicago Tango Week 2008-2009 and the upcoming Miami Beach

Tango Marathon 2010 and Burak's Tango Week 2010. He also co-founded the ARTango Center in Chicago.

Although he is based in Chicago, he frequently teaches and performs in Montreal, Miami, New York City, Los Angeles.

Mariana Galassi was born and raised Buenos Aires, Argentina. She trained intensively with Chicho Frumboli and Lucia Mazer, Julio Balmaceda, Corina de la Rosa and Gustavo Naveira. In 2000 she moved to New York City where she currently teaches tango. She continues to travel throughout the United States performing at different venues and teaching workshops.

The strong connection Galassi establishes with her partner, along with her own fluidity of movement and profound musicality all serve to contribute to her unique and sophisticated style. While she remains true to the spirit of traditional tango, her personal interpretation of the dance makes her one of the most distinctive and exciting dancers of the new generation.

Looking forward to dancing with you!

Tine, host

And through his unique, flowing musicality he has found an endless vehicle for creativity and expression.Maxi's teaching is about sharing the magic of the porteno dance with the rest of the world: its technique, its culture, and its mystery. A magic that, as difficult as it is to conceptualize, he has been able to transmit to his students from many countries.Maxi has taught and performed in Argentina, Europe and the United States of America, both in workshops and seminars as well as in numerous festivals.

Maxi will perform with Heather Whitehead from Ann Arbor, MI
