Omar Vega is a careful and charismatic teacher, and one of the strongest creative forces in the tango revival in Buenos Aires. His major influence was the late Tango maestro Pepito Avellaneda, and Omar was one of his principle disciples.
He is the acknowledged master of rhythm, and is internationally famous for his extremely rhythmic style of dancing milonga traspie. He is unsurpassed in the small, syncopated steps that make milonga an expressive and passionate experience.
