Read MoreCiudad Baigon @ Bouche à Oreille
Last Thursday the Patio de Tango was a crowded place, not only because of the dancers, but also because of the 12-person orchestra on stage: Orquesta Tipica Ciudad Baigon, straight from Buenos Aires. Not only was the music excellent, the musicians were also popular, specifically some of the bandoneon players, as the ladies in front […]

Read MoreTango is part of the “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation aims to preserve a list of legacies under threat from global change. Argentina and Uruguay, where the dance originated, jointly submitted it. UNESCO said heritages seeking approval, transmit from “generation to generation” and give “communities and groups a feeling of identity”. It added that the dance “embodies […]

Read MorePhotos: 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.
Read MoreNEW: 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 The list I had before was incomplete and outdated, and I started from scratch a week ago.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 […]
Read MoreBelgian 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 […]
Read MoreAnnouncing the last Milonga @ Kiosque of 2009: theme & bubbles!
This Saturday 5 Sept will be this season’s last edition of Milonga @ Kiosque and we want to make it a special one! We would like to take the whole ‘Buenos Aires’ style one step further and would like you to dress in white, (light) blue and a touch of yellow/gold, in honour of the […]
Read MorePhotos: 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!
Read MorePhotos: 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 […]
