The summer is spoiling us, not only does the sun feel mediterranean, but we have a new open-air milonga in Brussels that allows us to enjoy it even more. Nosotros (Eugenia & Diego) have started their weekly “Patio de tango” event at the Bouche à Oreille (Etterbeek). During the summer months, every Thursday: drinks, food […]

Announcing: Milonga @ Kiosque, 2009

For the 6th year already, there will be milongas at the Kiosque in the Parc Royal/Warandepark in Brussels during the summer months. For those who have never done those: it’s an open air milonga, in the pittoresque kiosque, and most of the times, the weather is smashing! It’s really a unique location and atmosphere. The […]

Photos: Tangueria, May 2009

It was a warm milonga, partly because it was almost 30° and most of us were thinking ‘why aren’t we at a BBQ?‘. Partly also because it was the birthday of Claudine and as these things go, several men battled over her during a birthday dance.

Nosotros Milonga / demo Fernando Galera

Last Saturday I went for the first time to the new Nosotros milonga in Cité Culture, Laeken. The venue is in the middle of a residential area with large apartment blocks, and when we arrived, we walked through a small park with tango music in the background and the smell of argentinian meat (cook: “El […]

Milonga + El Flaco Dany @ Pianofabriek

Last Sunday, Gisela and Sergio invited El Flaco Dany to the Pianofabriek to teach some milonga workshops and give a performance at the salon afterwards. He is a master in milonguero style as he demonstrated with Ada Mores and certainly with Gisela, who seemed surprised to be asked, but very happy to oblige. After that, […]

Milonga + portraits @ La Tangueria

There are two Tangueria milongas per month and I go to most of them, so to make the last one a bit different, I decided to use only my favourite portrait lens and take some pictures away from the dance floor. I am quite happy with the results! First of all someone who prefers to […]

BTF: taking pictures

Taking pictures at the festival was very rewarding: the venues are special, the people are beautiful, the lighting is challenging and you get lots of compliments. This year, it was even more fun for me, because I had invited a different friend photographer each evening. None of them are tango dancers or had a lot […]

BTF: looking for videos

I’ve seen lots of people record performances with their cameras/phones but I haven’t seen too much of them show up on e.g. Youtube. Here’s what i have found until now, and I’d be very happy to receive some hint on where to find more videos. Or if you have one but you didn’t upload it […]

BTF-5: Closing night @ Bains::Connective

(Check out all photos of the Brussels Tango Festival 2009) The last chance to dance at the festival, and with the visiting maestros, was at the swimming-pool-converted-to-milonga Les Bains. Less crowded than the other days, the dance-floor allowed a pleasant dancing experience and made people forget about their sore feet and lack of sleep. A nice […]
