Theft in El Dorado

I went to El Dorado (Humbeek) without my camera because I just wanted to dance and relax. During one of the tandas there was a loud shout from the entrance and a lot of sudden movement. What I feared turned out to be true: some young thugs had rushed in, taken the cash register and […]

Photos: Valentine Milonga @ Maison du Peuple

What better way to spend Valentine than a good milonga where you can dance with that special one, or where you can forget about the fact that the special one is not there? That’s why Gisela & Sergio organized a Valentine salon, with plenty of hearts and way too much red light, which is why […]

Eugenia & Diego from Nosotros held their 6th anniversary milonga last Saturday, and, just like last year, they sure knew how to welcome their guests. There was live music by Cimadevilla (bandoneón) et Di Paolo (guitar), with even Eugenia singing at some point. At midnight there was champaign and cake for everyone. And in the […]

Sergio has gotten into the habit of using Earth, Wind & Fire‘s Greatest hits for cortinas and I think that’s just great. It also helps keeping the energy and the temperature high, as we noticed again at last weekend’s Pianofabiek milonga. I arrived a bit late and had to rush to take enough pictures in between […]

Photos: El Dorado, Jan 2009

The first milonga of the year in El Dorado and while quite a lot of people are trying to quit smoking in the New Year, others on the other hand took up smoking next to the dance floor. We had grown used to the unwritten code that, except for La Cellule, all tango venues around […]

Photos: New Year’s Eve @ Tangueria

La Tangueria hosted a great New Year’s Party to guide us from 2008 into 2009, which of course is supposed to be a much better year than the previous. After the abundant dinner with food brought by the guests, tables were removed from the dance floor and all the calories were transformed into tango pleasure. […]

Photos: Milonga @ Cellule133a

It had been a while since I went to Cellule133a on Friday and I had forgotten how easily it drags you way into the Saturday. I arrived around 11 and a couple of drinks and dances later time had somehow fast forwarded to 5AM. But it was cosy and I have some pictures to prove […]

Photos: Bal de Noel @ El Dorado

A lot of people found the way to Humbeek for Gisela & Sergio’s yearly “Bal de Noël” or Christmas milonga. Sergio even mentioned that the people coming from Lille came by *bus*! Also lots of Dutch guests, and of course an abundance of Belgian tangueros. The venue was nicely decorated, the dancers were looking sharp […]
