FUN at the MILONGAS ~ some photos

it’s kind of interesting to always be taking pictures and not ever be in any of them…..but friends and family have persistenly asked for photos of me dancing tango at the milongas….so finally here are a few…..

some of the photos of me were taken by friends who sent me their files….others were taken by friends in whose hands i quickly thrust my own camera as i left my seat to meet my partner on the dance floor  :)

and of course, i took the photos that i am not in myself…..

the milongas are interesting places, and not just for tango….depending on where you are dancing, there may be a “tropical” tanda (set of music) comprising of salsa-like cumbia, merengue, and the like….or a swing set which can vary from dixieland and charleston to american big band music to contemporary rock and roll…..or maybe there will be a folkloric interlude of the popular chacarera…..

it is also quite common to celebrate birthdays at milongas, and to have a special night of live music and/or a performance…..

click on the photos to enlarge them (or to leave comments) ~ but you will have to use your browser “back” button to return to this page….
