Oscar Casas teaches regular classes at El Beso in Buenos Aires when he is not traveling all over the world to teach and perform. Oscar was born in Parque Patricios, a well-known tango barrio in Buenos Aires. His parents were avid tango dancers, and in the 1950s and '60s they organized three different milongas per week, which regularly drew in 400-500 dancers. He was very much influenced by his father, both by osmosis and discussion. Oscar absorbed the codes (codigos) of the milongueros, and when he eventually decided to take up the dance seriously, he already had a background and base that was the envy of many. Oscar has a distinct style both in his dance and his teaching. He is very milonguero, and is respected by the old guard in the milongas of BA. He is also extremely popular with young tangueros. He teaches with energy and humor, emphasizing concepts, specializing in improvisation, always interpreting the music and respecting the character of the different orchestras. He is especially interested in the dynamics and cadencia of the dance. Everything he teaches is applicable to crowded milongas. Ana Miguel started teaching with the famous Argentine instructor and performer, Pocho Pizarro. From 2005 to 2008, she performed in the show “Bacanazo” which was held in the Empire Theatre and the Roman Theatre in BA and she also performed as part of the show at Esquina Carlos Gardel from 2006 to 2010 in BA.  Ana Miguel has taught tango at various tango festivals and was also a tango teacher at  ACETA (Academy of Argentine Tango Styles) from 2006 to 2010.
