Dancing in Paris and Brussels
Written by Royce Chau, on 31-03-2005 10:45
Summer is not a good time to tango in Paris and Brussels. It is because many local dancers as well as local tango teachers go to travel during summer, so many milongas are closed in July and August. That means you have less choices of places to dance, but still you can find good places to dance and meet a lot of local dancers who don't travel.

Talking Sense - afterthoughts
Written by Geoff Poole, on 31-03-2005 08:11
I think that the milonga at Sense 99 was one of the most interesting I
have seen recently in Hong Kong. It was intimate, it had very nice
music, and it was small and crowded. And it was apparent that while a
lot of people enjoyed it, most found it difficult to dance there, and
yet the dance density was really nothing exceptional by Buenos Aires
standards. Since many of these people are pretty decent dancers, it’s
interesting to ask ‘why’? Shouldn’t we be able to dance wherever we
want?
Who will be your best dance mate next year? What style to dance with whom?

Francisco Canaro
Written by Royce Chau, on 25-12-2004 11:15
Francisco Canaro is a very important musician in tango history, and he is also one of my favourite musicians. For me, his music is simple, always comfortable for dancing - playful and lively. His life is almost the history of tango, he had spent half of the century in the tango world until he died in 1964.
