Photos: last Milonga @ Kiosque of 2009

Every summer has to end at some point, and we ended it with a bang. A brilliant sun, a bunch of sharply dressed dancers and a dozen bottles of cava. The last Milonga @ Kiosque was a worthy end of a splendid season of outdoor milongas in the middle of the cutest Brussels park.

NEW: Overview of tango courses in Belgium

I’ve put some time in the creation of a better database for tango courses in Belgium, just in time for the start of the new academic year. The list I had before was incomplete and outdated, and I started from scratch a week ago. I received already a lot of data from different teachers all […]

Belgian couple in the Mundial de Tango

There was a Belgian couple from Gent in the Mundial de Tango 2009 in Buenos Aires. I hadn’t heard from the Belgian qualifications (two years ago it was called the Tango Marathon) and to be honest, I have never seen the dancers, Yannick Vanhove & Lieske De Vuyst, before either. Seems there must be an […]

Photos: Milonga @ La Tangueria

It had been months, what with the summer activities of Marisa & Oliver, but finally there was another Tangueria milonga! I didn’t take a lot of pictures, but with the few that were worth showing, I experimented a bit. Not just extreme contrast but also extreme coloured contrast. Feel free to give feedback!

Photos: Patio de Tango

This month of August is one of the hottest in ages, and nowhere this could be witnessed better than in the Patio de Tango last Thursday. The heat also had an effect on my lens, because most of the images seemed half molten, which is why in a lot of cases I used extreme contrast […]

Photos: Milonga @ Kiosque #5

Due to some unannounced activity by the ‘Feeërieën‘ people, we could only start the milonga at 18h, and in a settings of black: black roof, black curtains on the side. It made the taking of pictures a lot more difficult. Still, the sun was there, the drinks were cool and we had lots of spectators […]

Help: Marie-Jeanne has lost her shoes!

Ten days ago, on Thursday August 13th, Marie-Jeanne forgot her ‘normal’ (not tango) shoes at Patio de Tango. Nothing too uncommon, were it not for the fact that MJ has very sensitive feet and the shoes have been orthopaedically enhanced for her feet. So if anyone would have taken them by accident: please let her know, […]
