Brussels Tango Festival forum: looking for a partner or a place to stay?

Brussels Tango Festival - LesBains (9)
We’ve just launched the Brussels Tango Festival forum, where visitors to the 2010 edition of the Brussels Tango Festival (1 Apr – 5 Apr) can post their questions:

  • “I’m looking for a tango partner, leader, advanced, for X and Y workshop.”
  • “I’m coming to Brussels for 3 days, could I stay at some tanguero/tanguera’s place?”

The festival starts in about 6 weeks, so this is a good time to start planning your lodging and your workshops. The updates on the forum will also appear on this site, and will be included in our weekly newsletter to almost 500 tango dancers.

For the Belgian tango dancers, if you want to practice your spanish or meet interesting people from all over the world, this is your chance to show off the famous Belgian hospitality!

Tete & Osvaldo: two legends die

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.

Best wishes for 2010!

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.

Custom milonga.be calendar 

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!

Choose your own picture for a personal calendar!

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!
Get your personal calendar
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!
