BTF-2: Elastico Tango

(Check out all photos of the Brussels Tango Festival 2009) Friday was a beautiful spring day, and the place to take your tango aperitif on a terras was Cafe Central, on St-Géry/Sint-Goriks. Not only for the sun and the beautiful people, but also for Odile Gheysens & Eric Lecomte with their performance “Elastico-Tango”, which involved dancing […]

BTF-1: Maison des cultures et … @ Molenbeek

As the mayor Moureau explained, it was kind of the unofficial opening of the renovated […]

Sergio had a special guest for his Maison Du Peuple milonga: Alfredo Marcucci with his tango orchestra. And I also discovered plenty of tattoos on pretty ladies, two of which are shown in this article.

Photos: Tangueria Women’s Day milonga

Last Sunday Marisa & Oliver dedicated their Tangueria milonga to women in honour of the International Women’s Day. Women got drinks, more attention and for an hour even the ‘obligation’ to invite men instead of the other way round.  We clearly noticed that when women invite, they are a lot more couples on the floor.

Photo: Nosotros @ Bouche-à-Oreille

It was really nice and full (around 200 dancers). Despite the fact that we started quite early (at 7PM), at midnight there were still people arriving! So we finished at 2AM: a seven-hour salon is really not bad. (from Diego) I couldn’t make it, but Diego was kind enough to send me a picture 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 […]

Photos: Pianofabriek, Feb 2009

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 […]
