When you get invited, you can say no

Pablo Veron, known from the movie ‘The Tango Lesson’ and a maestro who regularly visits Brussels, had a very unpleasant encounter recently with a Russian woman who wouldn’t take no for an answer. It was a Saturday night, I finished a whole day of workshops and I was exhausted because I took a plane at […]
