Special Tango Week with Yvonne Meissner (March 23 – 30th)

Update with details:
Please find the proposed schedule for Yvonne Meissner enclosed in the note below. Prior to that I want to give few words of introduction!! Congratulations to Rakesh and the 2TOTTango team for bringing such a maestra to New Delhi..
Yvonne Meissner started to dance Argentine Tango in 1987 and has learnt and danced with some of the greatest milongueros from the tango world such as Pepito Avellaneda, Late Tete Rusconi, Cacho Dante, Rodolfo & Maria Cieri, Pocho Pizarro, Rubén Terbalca, Ricardo Maceiras (El Pibe Sarandì), Ana Maria Schapira, Eduardo Aguirre and Luis Rojas.  Folks, these were and are some of the greatest millongueros of all time!!
In 1994 she set up tango in the Dutch cities of Haarlem and  Hertogenbosch. In the same year Yvonne was the first organizer ever to bring the milongueros from Argentina to Europe. For e.g. Susana Miller and Cacho Dante started their first international steps outside Argentina in her school in ”El Centro” in Amsterdam. A benchmark in European tango history when dancing close embrace, Tango de Salón Apilado as they say in Argentina (from 1990 known as milonguero style) was still unknown outside Argentina. For more information on Yvonne and her illustrious achievements, please go to her website http://tangodesalon.nl/english/home/
