This was a busy weekend. On Saturday Nosotros, in collaboration with Bouche-à-Oreille, had organized a milonga with a little extra: a concert by the Quilombo quintet.

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 […]

Photos: Milonga @ Kiosk #5

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 […]

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:

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 […]

Belgians 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 […]

Photos: 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.

This weekend Tina from TangoQuerido organised a milonga in the Varia venue, in Ixelles. It was the first time there, and a very pleasant experience. I’m sure there will be more. Music was by Roberto Salvianti (It) and there was a performance by Germán Salvatierra (Ar), the tanguero with 4 legs: When he was not […]

It started with a projection of “Tanghi Argentini“, the belgian short film about tango that made it to an Oscar nomination. Then the event continued with stories and poems about the […]

Milonga: Greenwich Café, April 2008

Back by popular demand, the Greenwich milonga reopened last Saturday, 19 April. Una Emocion made its way to the heart of Brussels in the company of Jorge Dispari & Maria “La Turca” and created a gem of an evening again. The café filled with a nice mix of dancers and on-lookers, and the return of […]
