Tango in Belgie / Tango en Belgique
Last weekend was the first edition of ‘Milonga de Gante’, a new monthly dance event started by Ilse and Ludo. In one of the better lighted neighbourhoods in Gent, we were welcomed in a part-time film studio with some pretty decoration.
We also got a demo by Koos & Astrid, who will be giving a class before all the next milongas.
This has not been a great week in tango history: two famous tangueros have died within days of each other.
Earlier this week we heard that Tete (Pedro Rusconi) had died. He was one of the tango icons, had been dancing since the fifties and was famous for his tango vals style.
Like last year, I wanted to start the New Year in a tango atmosphere, and that’s why we went to Tangueria to spend the last hours of 2009 and count down to 2010. DJ Emilie was choosing the tandas while we nibbled on panettone and drank bubbles.

I wish you all a merry Christmas and a splendid 2010, with lots of nice friends, fascinating classes and excellent dancing. I hope to see all of you a lot in the coming year and hope to have the privilege again to take pretty pictures of all of you.
Also a big thanks to all those who have ordered a milonga.be calendar for 2010. I have been printing a lot of custom December pictures for each calendar we sold and it has given me great pleasure to know which photos you liked and wanted to look at throughout the coming year. If you still want one, hurry, because they will be probably finished in the next week!
Christmas is upon us and inspires people all over Belgium to organize special Christmas milongas. Let’s give you an overview:
Saturday 19 Dec
Sunday 20 Dec
Sunday 27 Dec
We have decided to replace the December photo by another one, and to make things even more creative, we let you choose your own picture for your own calendar! That’s right, you can pick any picture out of my Tango archive and we will print it and make December 2010 your own personal month!
Do you have one particular picture of you with your loved one, with your favourite dance partner, or that one picture that always makes you smile? A picture that you know would make a great gift for someone special? Order the calendar online and specify which picture it is. Within the week it will be in your hands!
To make it more interesting for you to order online: we did an effort and brought the price to 16€ so that with the 4€ shipping it still costs only 20€. Buying two or more calendars has of course become even more affordable!
