Conceptos creativos with Santiago Dorkas & Cecilia Garcia (@Tango brujo)
– brainstorming class… attempting to reshape or even rebuild your way of thinking about dancing and movement in general. Energy, emotions, dancing with your whole body – connecting different body part – topic as much interesting as difficult to teach. However, Santiago and Cecilia dealt with it really well. Excellent but difficult class for which you need to come open-minded and be prepared for the challenge!

Tango intermedio & avanzado with Martin Gutierrez & Samantha Di Paolo (@Tango brujo)
– one of our favourite classes so far … this time devoted to soltadas and of course, there must have been a gancho as well (Martin calls himself “ganchofil”)

Before the classes we went for shoe shoping to Comme il faut (Arenales 1239) and later on to Delie shoes (Piedras 843). I wrote about Comme il faut before so only few words about Delie. They seem to specialize more in men’s shoes (we ended up buying two classic pairs for Peter, one at a really low promotional price) than women’s (they were on the kitschy side, with lots of glitter falling and not precise finishing).

After the classes we went to see a movie – even though we planned Practica X. We saw Burn After Reading by Ethan and Joel Cohen with the fantastic cast of George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and Brad Pitt. We enjoyed it a lot thanks to a huge dose of the black humour and great acting.
