Brussel/Bruxelles
Last weekend took us to a place where no on had been before to tango: the top floor of the Brussels Hilton hotel. Monik and Dante had organised an evening full of surprises, and they sure delivered. There were tango performances by them and by Cythia and Ernesto, there was some Argentinian folk music and then there […]

It made the taking of pictures a lot more difficult. Still, the sun was there, the drinks were cool and we had lots of spectators […]
Read MoreTen days ago, on Thursday August 13th, Marie-Jeanne forgot her ‘normal’ (not tango) shoes at Patio de Tango. Nothing too uncommon, were it not for the fact that MJ has very sensitive feet and the shoes have been orthopaedically enhanced for her feet. So if anyone would have taken them by accident: please let her know, […]
Read MoreIt’s official: Patio de Tango is no longer just a summer milonga, it will be your regular Thursday milonga! So now Brussels has Los Romanticos on Monday, Tango Bar on Wednesday, Patio de Tango on Thursday and Cellule133a on Friday as its weekly milongas. In the weekends, it’s a bit more complicated (monthly, bi-weekly and […]
