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!

Like last year, I wanted to start the New Year in a tango atmosphere, and that’s why we went to Tangueria to spend the last hours of 2009 and count down to 2010. DJ Emilie was choosing the tandas while we nibbled on panettone and drank bubbles.

Dec 3 was the last milonga Patio de Tango of the year. A lot of people had made an effort to look even better than normally. We saw lots of red and that makes for pretty pictures.

Tangueria had some Argentinian visitors this Sunday: Natalia Games & Gabriel Angio, a couple that has been dancing since 1991, when most of us had hardly heard from tango, even before we could have seen it in ‘The Tango Lesson’ (1997) or ‘Scent of a woman’ (1992). They looked very young and dynamic and showed some excellent dancing during their four dances.
