The week before last was Liz’s last week here, as well as the week Ali was here from England. As they are both tangueras, tango featured large in the week! When we weren’t doing lessons with Ale, we were at the milonga or buying tango shoes or tango clothes. And since we usually went out to dinner after the milongas, it was a full on week! But I enjoyed every minute of it, as I’m sure the chicas did too.

I’ve spliced together some tango clips to give you a taste of what the week was like. There is a bit from Ali’s lesson, where you’ll see Ali elected to dance to one of the modern tango tunes, as well as at two different milongas. It’s a bit hard at the milonga to make videos, as of course lots of other couples are dancing by, but I hope you enjoy them. Interestingly, when I uploaded the video to YouTube it was rejected on copyright grounds, so I had to go through, find and remove the offending tune, which happened to be Liz’s lesson. Sorry Liz!

Here’s a shot of the three of us at the milonga, as well as a candid shot of me taken last week at the same milonga.
