Dance with the people you like dancing with, try not to dance with peopl..

Anyone who invites somebody to dance during a cortina gets turned down automatically. 3. Anyone who invites somebody to dance verbally and got turned down cannot make another invitation for 3 tandas. 4. Lead..

Javier and Andrea came to Korea for the first time in 2007. They visited us again last month for a week of workshops and milongas. I feel this visit was even better than the first - here are some photos, observations, and even a little video. ***** Before the big event there was a planning party with "Korean-style Chinese food" at our home (for those of you who have had real Chinese food this i..

On this sleepless morning I found the following Youtube video... I remember seeing this couple in an early Tango Forever video a few years back. They were definitely my favorite then.

Old Milongueros Dancing with old milongueros is a special experience. They use almost the same set of steps all the time, but each milonoguero has his own timing, accent and energy.
