Omar Vega is one of the strongest creative forces in the new tango revival of the last ten years in Buenos Aires. He is known as a salon dancer who creates all of his unique and innovative ideas on the social dance floor, remaining "true" to the essence of social dance, before transforming them for performance. Omar considers his tango to be based in "natural, sensual movement." He is also internationally famous for his extremely rhythmic style of dancing milonga. He is a master of improvisation, especially appreciated for his musical interpretation. Omar has travelled extensively in the last two years. He is known as a careful and charismatic teacher. For these sessions he was accompanied by Luciana Valle of Buenos Aires.
