Eduardo Goytia will teach the class themed "Salon Favorites" at 830pm. Upper level, included with admission.
Around midnight Eduardo will perform with Yamila Viana. Wear goggles to deal with sparks!
Eduardo was the 2007 US National Champion in Argentine Tango Salon, and with his partner Cyrena Drusine, the couple also became the only American couple to ever make it to the finals of the World Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He teaches at DanceSport and Triangulo. Eduardo oversees the milonga from 6'1" up, and he's a popular dancer in NYC with ladies of all sizes.
Yamila Viana is from, uhm, Argentina, Italy and possibly other places. The mystery only adds to her allure! So you think dancing tango is more exciting than collecting stamps! But how about doing acrobatics hanging from the ceiling on a silk ribbon! Yamila does both (plus flamenco, ballet, contemporary dance and long walks on the beach), but with the ceiling so low and not much advance notice to fix it, today it will be her tango being shown off by Eduardo Goytia.
