tango week

What a week !

after the workshop of friday and yhe usual sancho of tuesday, another workshop on wenesday !

This time, it was Massimo, who focused on balance, communication and show us some nice variation of ocho cortado (especially the tomata/gancho finish).

I liked the style of massimo, who emphasis on being confortable and doing something "simple" but well rather than many fancy thing badly.

I have learned some new step and now let's practice them !

A great thank also to Sandra for welcoming the workshop and the milonga.

It was really a great evening and in general a great week for tango in Delhi.

Next event would probably be a chrismas milonga...

Milonga improvisation

Friday was also a tango day... wed had a workshop on a new restaurant : Amigo in GKII

Too bad for me, i was late. my other activities, as well as a good traffic jam, just allowed me to finish the workshop.

Ira and Rick proposed us some good exercise about balance and weight transfer. We finished with a saccada, one of my specialities...

The bas surprise was after : the staff from amigo told us we can not stay after 9pm, for a reason that i didn't catch, but i have my opinion about the TRUE reason...

We planned to move to our base, sancho, without being sure that it would be possible to find space, but i was suggesteing to use my place instead, were space is guarantee and perhaps we will find a little something to eat and drink.

It was really fun to move everything from the living room to create a dance floor. Juste in 5 minutes, we had space, music and some drinks. Pizza arrived 30 minutes after.

This is the tango spirit : milonga, improvisation... and fun

About the photo : clearly the most popular person (and the most hungry also...) of the milonga

elegance vs passion

Last week i was sick. Well, no more sick but recovering from a bad week end with fever and everything.

As tuesday come, i was very happy to go back dancing, but suddenly i realized that going to dance was meaning spreading my disease to everyone, especially the ladies i will dance with. Is it acceptable ? it is not.

Of course i was really willing to dance but, it won't have been elegant and elegance is one major point of the tango.

So, a little bit disapointed, i stayed at home, listing for tango, alone, on my laptop

instead of sancho, the milonga was taking place at Ina's place.

a nice house, a big dance floor, some good musics, some delicious snacks, and a so welcoming host... thank you Ina !
