Dance teachers
TOCurrently the «El Desbande» team is made up of Olga Vall and Carlos Bauque, sometimes two more teachers, that we meet periodically to be able to monitor and develop the classes and the students. Besides tango, we are united by friendship, the desire to share and enjoy the priceless energy that we generate among teachers, students, friends, dancers and musicians that we pass through the school and that we invite you to share with us.
