MUMA-Milonguera From Buenos Aires
Organizer: Marisela & George
MUMA is a tango teacher and a dancer of enormous experience. She was born in Buenos Aires, the cradle of tango, where she has taught with the best milongueros of her generation. She is coming as part of her West Coast Tour of the USA to share her accumulated knowledge and her teaching with the late Ricardo Vidort, considered one of the best milongueros of his time. She has also taught extensively with the inimitable Dani ‘Flaco’ Garcia,one of the living giants of the milonga with traspié, the specialty that makesMUMA sought after in B.A. Having a milonguera of this caliber in Eugene is an opportunity not to be missed by dancers of any level, but especially by the more experienced ones who can perfect their already good style. If one of your goals is to dance in B.A. with the best of the milongueros, these classes are made for you.
WORKSHOPS TEACHING GOAL
The 2 workshops on Saturday and Sunday are progressive and will include a large variety of elements in every class, such as: milonga lisa and with traspié; the “milonguero walk à la Vidort;” turns and counter-turns as they apply to the different rhythms of tango, milonga and vals; The FRIDAY Specialty workshop is intended for more advanced students and will be contrasting the rhythm of Juan D’Arienzo with other orchestras.
VIDEOS IN UTUBE
The following two links show Muma dancing with her friend Dani Garcia, AKA el flaco at milonga “Sunderland”, and at another venue. The third one shows her skills with the legendary Ricardo Vidort in Buenos Aires. And in the last, she narrates her personal experience of dancing, teaching with, and befriending this great milonguero:

2014 - Comments
My trip to Buenos Aires last November as a part of Marisela Rizik’s dance
troupe was a dream fulfilled. Traveling with her group was a great way to
experience it. Her knowledge of the city and local customs was excellent, but
her milonga information was invaluable. She worked above and beyond to make
sure her charges trips were smooth and they all got the most from their trips.
Marisela helped with finding an apartment for the second half of the
trip. At the end of our week together the transfer of our group to different
apartments or airports was well handled and coordinated. I would do it all
over, in fact, I plan to.

I went to Buenos Aires
for the first time with Marisela and her tango group last fall (spring down
there!) I have to say Marisela is an excellent group leader -- she knows the
city's dance milieu like the back of her hand, where and when to go to the best
milongas, where to buy different types of shoes, etc. She has the patience of
two saints -- helping us all with our big and little needs and desires. Even
after the larger group split up into several smaller pods and she was
theoretically "off duty" she stayed in touch and hung out with us for
dances, meals, and other activities. I had a small health problem there and
Marisela was extremely solicitous and helpful. She was very generous with her
time. I really believe Marisela thinks of us in her tango community as family
and she makes us feel comfortable and cared for. I would go back with her any
time.

Comments from the 2011 trip:
This has been one of the best trips I've taken. A
great group of people and you managed us and our activities so beautifully,
even accommodating the various individual trips we each wanted to take.

It will remain one of the high points of Don and my lives. We had a wonderful time and it was all becuase of your gentle tutlage and your willingness to introduce us to this great cit.
