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 […]

Photos: Milonga @ Jardins du Dieweg

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.

Upcoming: Milongas at the Kiosque du Parc

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 […]

Monday was the last salon of the festival, and it was held in the former swimming pool of Les Bains::Connectives. We started with a small crowd, more people came around 22h until the floor was filled. DJ Ben kept everyone dancing and while we had been afraid that it would be cold, it was quite […]

BTF: Sunday salon @ Vaudeville

“Surprise and Impro” was the name of the Sunday milonga of the festival. The biggest surprise, and unfortunately a very unpleasant one, is that we were not allowed to take any videos or pictures during the improvisations. One of the most exciting parts of the festival has been lost for eternity. Personally, I think this […]

If anyone has taken pictures and would like to share them: festival@milonga.be ) How much fun can you have with an empty champaign bottle and a full glass?
