Tango in Belgie / Tango en Belgique
It had been a while since I went to Cellule133a on Friday and I had forgotten how easily it drags you way into the Saturday. I arrived around 11 and a couple of drinks and dances later time had somehow fast forwarded to 5AM. But it was cosy and I have some pictures to prove it:
With Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve falling on Wednesdays, there are some changes in the regular programming of milonga/practica activity:
Basically what’s left for milonga activity is:
So take this into account when you plan your tango activities!
In the mean time, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, great times with the people you love and lots of joy in the coming year.

A lot of people found the way to Humbeek for Gisela & Sergio’s yearly “Bal de Noël” or Christmas milonga. Sergio even mentioned that the people coming from Lille came by *bus*! Also lots of Dutch guests, and of course an abundance of Belgian tangueros. The venue was nicely decorated, the dancers were looking sharp and the dancefloor made an ants’ nest look like an oasis of rest and peace. There were easily over 350 attendees and all of them in a good mood. Check out some pictures:
Op 25 september werd Greet Nelles uit Herent het slachtoffer van een zeer ernstig verkeersongeval. Greet herstelt beetje bij beetje maar de weg is nog lang. Ria en Luc, de ouders van Greet, zijn lid van tangoclub El Balcon. Met dit benefiet bal willen wij onze morele steun betuigen aan Greet en haar familie. De opbrengst van dit tango bal gaat integraal naar Greet en het bloedtransfusiecentrum. Het is aan dit centrum dat Greet in eerste instantie haar leven dankt.
I found out that the best time to arrive at the Pianofabriek milonga is 17h. Plenty of space on the dancefloor, and the tables are there for the picking. Once it turns 19h, the place is packed. Dancing remained comfortable, for some reason, and so that’s what I did. Some pictures of the evening:
