20 euros Amigas & amigos,The adventure lasted 16 (SIXTEEN) years, and above all, what I feel is an enormous sense of gratitude.More than 700 milongas in one of the most beautiful venues in the city. I had dreamed of turning it into a little corner of Buenos Aires, with a weekly, popular milonga, truly porteña, in a magnificent setting — and of making it last… and that’s exactly what happened.Now it’s time to say goodbye, with no sadness and no regrets.There a...

TANGO ESCENARIO — FORMATIONLe Tango Escenario est une forme de tango pensée pour la scène. Il conserve les fondements du tango argentin — la connexion, l’écoute, l’abrazo, la musicalité et le dialogue entre les partenaires — tout en ouvrant la danse à une autre dimension : l’espace, la composition, l’interprétation et l’expression scénique. Le travail du Tango Escenario ne se limite donc pas aux fi...
Photos: Milonga @ Kiosk #6
It was the last edition of this season, and what an edition it was. The one with the best weather, the most dancers, the most smiles and the most surprises for Dirk. He got lots of people showing up in his tango-battle-colours red & black, he got to hand out roses to his partners, he […]

Read MoreTango anecdote: Alberto Castillo
Inspired by a story Lucio told me last weekend: the story of Alberto Castillo, famous tango singer, actor but also a practicing gynaecologist, until eventually he had to stop: (…) So in the afternoons, doctor Alberto Salvador De Lucca left his “consulting room for ladies” and ran to the radio to turn into the singer […]

Weather wasn’t that bad, but expectation of rain did prevent a bunch of people of coming. The others had a sweater, a scarf and lots of space for dancing. And no, it did not rain once. Next Kiosque on Sept 27 is the last one for this year, so don’t miss it! All pictures in […]
Read MorePhotos: Maryline & Vincent @ Hermalle
Maryline & Vincent gave a workshop this weekend in Hermalle-sous-Huy, organized by the Cultural Center of Engis, for the Dance Convention. Afterwards, there was a short afternoon milonga, and they gave a demonstration. Since Vincent will be concentrating on non-tango activities for a while, it was certainly a special occasion. Some impressions:
Read MorePhotos: Milonga Spiegeltent Antwerp
It was the first time I visited the ‘Spiegeltent’ milonga (Noordkasteel, Antwerpen) and it turned out to be a really cosy place. The theme last Thursday was “Bal masqué” so if you see some dressed up/masked people in the pictures, that’s why. There was an nice demo by Koos & Astrid, and DJ Johan mixed […]
Read MorePhotos: Milonga @ Kiosque #4
We had to start late with the Kiosque milonga because they were still setting up an impressive set of lights for an event later that evening, but on the positive side: we had an impressive set of lights that brightened up the end of the milonga. It was a warm, pleasant day, the place was […]

Kattendijk Tango has started their weekly open-air milonga next to the water again. Although it can be a bit windy, you don’t notice that when you’re dancing, and the view is spectacular. This summer, every Tuesday evening, check it out!
Read MoreBelgians abroad: Vieille Bourse @ Lille
In Lille they also have an open-air milonga, only; the top is open and not the sides. When it gets rainy, this makes for a wet experience. But that doesn’t stop the locals and quite a crowd of Belgian dancers to come to the Vieille Bourse (organised by Sous Les Marronniers), since it is quite […]
Read MorePhotos: Milonga @ Kiosque #1
We held our fingers crossed for most of the week and it paid off: there was only a little rain at the first Milonga @ Kiosque this Saturday in the Brussels park. The dancers, on the other hand, were numerous. The first one dropped in just after 5PM and the milonga only stopped because we […]

Milongas at Dieweg are nice, but sunny milongas at Dieweg are even nicer. This Sunday was a very sunny milonga. DJ Ben was in great shape and even I got to dance more than I took pictures.
