Also, I’m quite happy with the pictures I took. I was privileged to […]

Read MoreTangueria had some Argentinian visitors this Sunday: Natalia Games & Gabriel Angio, a couple that has been dancing since 1991, when most of us had hardly heard from tango, even before we could have seen it in ‘The Tango Lesson’ (1997) or ‘Scent of a woman’ (1992). They looked very young and dynamic and showed […]
