LEXA'S TANGO BIO

In 1995, I was introduced to the MAGIC of ARGENTINE TANGO. In fact, I lost my job in the occult shop because I was so enchanted with this dance. I was too obsessed with practicing my OCHOS to be bothered with any other work! 11 1/2 years later, this love affair is still going strong. The tango reawakened my passion for life, and it is with great joy that I share it with others.

Some of my teachers include: Laura Grinbank, Omar Vega, Pupi Castello, Diego y Negracha, Graciela Gonzalez "la Negra", Viviana Parra, Jorge Torres, Mariela Franganillo, Carina Moeller, Brigitta Winkler, Tete, Horacio Brito "El Pipe Avellaneda", Olga Besio, Maestro Carlos Gavito, "El Flaco" Dani, Susana Miller, Nito y Elba, Facundo y Kely Posadas, El Indio y Cacho Dante.

Lexa studied ballet, jaz, tap, flamenco, swing, and country western dancing. She taught Argentine tango and milonga at DanceSport in NYC (2002-2004) and continues to teach privately. She has done performance exhibitions in NYC at Stepping Out, Chelsea Piers, P.S. 122, Wow Cafe, and Theatre for the New City. Lexa is known for her excellent leading skills and is a favorite among the social dancers.

Lexa writes the monthly astrology column for Reportango magazine. check out TANGO STARS and you can also read TANGO STERNE in German at the online TangoKulture magazine.

Loreen and I want to thank all of you in the NYC milongas for the warm welcome you gave to Gonzalo Cabrera y Roxanna Suarez. They danced a beautiful tango to open the United Cerebral Palsy's Women Who Care Luncheon at Cipriani and they were thrilled to be invited to perform exhibitions at the milongas every night of the week they were visiting here. Special thanks to Gayatri Martin of La Boca, Hernan of Tango Club, Coco y Juan Pablo of La Nacional, Dani Carpi of La Belle Epoque, Sandra of Lafayette Grill, and Jak and Metin of Baila Tango y DJ La Turca. For those of you who missed these wonderful kids, Gonzalo is sixteen years old and happens to have cerebral palsy, although you wouldn't know it when he dances tango. He and his cousin Roxy were an inspiration to us all! The GREATEST GRACIAS to Tanguero Productions for introducing these amazing dancers to the NY tango community!

ALL NIGHT MILONGA BENEFIT UPDATE
Here is a letter posted by the Queen of the Night, Sarah La Rocca. She is the organizer of the All Night Milonga - one of the best tango venues in NY. Check it out! The second Sat of each month at Stepping Out Dance Studios. (You'll also find Lexa there giving astrology/tarot readings at a great price.)



Dear Friends,

The All Night Milonga raised almost $1000 for the victims of hurricane Katrina.
The money was donated to two worthy local organizations:

The Baton Rouge Area Foundation to provide assistance to the residents of New Orleans and the Noah's Wish Foundation to provide rescue and shelter to the thousands and thousands of animals left behind.
Read their web sites to see the work these marvelous organizations are doing.

If you know anyone who couldn't attend the all night milonga, donations can still
be made on line at the above web sites.

I want to send out a very special huge THANK YOU to the following kind hearted
fantastic people:

Lexa Rosean
The Pulpo and the Zvi Migdal tango band
the management of Stepping Out Studios

Thanks to everyone who attended and to my friends who always support my heart felt frantic activities. And remember as a community, we are capable of great things.

sincerely,

Sarah La Rocca

ASADO/MILONGA AT PARLOUR 153













On Sunday Aug 14, Parlour 153 was host to a traditional Argentine Asado (BBQ) and Milonga (Tango Dance Party). Gracias y ESO to ASADORS (bbq cookers) Coco y Ruben, and DJ La Turca. Big thanks to Guy for the beautiful tent in the garden protecting us from the rain. We feasted on delicious Argentine grill with the romantic thunderstorm around us - but not ON US! And upstairs, lots of tangos in the Parlour.
















Lexa taught the beginner class for the tango babies and performed with Vinnie. It was a one of a kind event - but we plan to repeat it so stay tuned for details.
