In the beautiful foyer of the 1869 Brugse Stadsschouwburg, there was an equally classy milonga, organized by Pasos de Brujas. The planned demo by Alma & Aldo had been cancelled, but we were lucky to have Sonja & Sven and their mentors Marisa & Oliver in the milonga, who gave us a double demo.

The BRYC is a beautiful place to dance; check out the collection of flags on the wall!

For those of you who like dancing to live bands, there is the concert of Tuba Tango this Thursday at the Patio de Tango. This is an rather unusual tango orchestra, with bandoneon, clarinet, guitar and, obviously, a tuba. They’ve existed, with changing musicians, since 1967. Catch them on their European tour!
La Tubatango’s objective is to relive the festive spirit of the tango from the 1900s; times when any celebration would have the citizens of Buenos Aires go out and walk down the streets following the bands, ‘fanfarrias’ and carnival groups.
