Photos: El Dorado, Jan 2009

The first milonga of the year in El Dorado and while quite a lot of people are trying to quit smoking in the New Year, others on the other hand took up smoking next to the dance floor. We had grown used to the unwritten code that, except for La Cellule, all tango venues around Brussels are smoke free, but apparently we’ll have to start reminding people about that. I, for one, get very annoyed about that.

La Tangueria hosted a great New Year’s Party to guide us from 2008 into 2009, which of course is supposed to be a much better year than the previous. After the abundant dinner with food brought by the guests, tables were removed from the dance floor and all the calories were transformed into tango pleasure. My best St Sylvester in years!
