It had been a long time, so we were all happy that Theresa organised another milonga at the Jardins du Dieweg. DJ Ben started when it was still light, and kept the dancefloor packed until the last Cumparsita. It was already warm now, so bring your hand-held fans for the next one in June!

This time next week, the Brussels Tango Festival starts with the Opening Night at the Concert Noble. What follows is 5 days of pure tango delight:
- maestros from Argentina and Europe: Cecilia & Horacio, Adrian & Alejandra, Noelia & Pablo, El Pájaro & Romina, Céline & Damian, Marisa & Oliver, Maryline & Vincent
- tango dancers coming from all over Europe
- almost 40 workshops with the maestros – but hurry, 25% is already fully booked
- and of course a tango salon every night in some of the nicest venues in Brussels.
Don’t miss it!
UPDATE: the number of fully booked workshops is more like 33%!

Soon to be seen at the Brussels Tango Festival: Horacio Godoy y Cecilia García dancing milonga. To be honest: it’s show milonga.
Time flies when you’re having milongas: Cellule133a has been hosting Brussels’ best (and only) Friday milonga for two years and this was a good reason for a celebration: champaign for all dancers and excellent live music by the Argentine Ranas duo. And of course, lots of dancing until quite late.

If you were wondering why some of the familiar faces did not show up at this weekend’s milongas, this is the reason: we were at Diego Martinez Vignatti’s film shoot. “La Cantante de Tango”, Diego’s second feature film, required a milonga scene, and it was shot right at the Cultural Center of Schaarbeek, on Nosotros home territory. For most of us it was a first-time experience to participate in an actual movie, so we learned things like: a director can be very concentrated, impatient and charming at the same time, schedules and instructions change all the time, actors need continuous make-up and hair redoes, and us extras have to excel at waiting, remembering our start/stop position and being silent most of the time. And certainly not look into the camera!
Every now and then we did get to dance, and by ‘we’ I mean the others, because I just took pictures the whole weekend. Here’s a selection.
