Photos: Milonga @ Kiosque #3

Due to circumstances, the 3rd milonga at the Kiosque started without a power extension cord, without a photographer and without drinks, but since it’s about the dancing anyway, that really didn’t matter too much.

For those who have never done those: it’s an open air milonga, in the pittoresque kiosque, and most of the times, the weather is smashing! It’s really a unique location and atmosphere. The […]

It was a warm milonga, partly because it was almost 30° and most of us were thinking ‘why aren’t we at a BBQ?‘. Partly also because it was the birthday of Claudine and as these things go, several men battled over her during a birthday dance.

Nosotros Milonga / demo Fernando Galera

Last Saturday I went for the first time to the new Nosotros milonga in Cité Culture, Laeken. The venue is in the middle of a residential area with large apartment blocks, and when we arrived, we walked through a small park with tango music in the background and the smell of argentinian meat (cook: “El […]
