Saturday – Sunday (December 6-7)
As Peter has left to Hungary on Saturday morning (giving me a gorgeous bunch of red roses before =) ), I went for two beginner classes to get better at my leading and see how they teach the beginners here.
Principiantes with Daniel Tuero & Cecilia Piccini (@Tango brujo)
–the class focused on walking, embrace and connection explaining lots of the structural elements of tango in an innovative way. Very very useful. No step was taught and we started with walking, walking and walking. I loved the explanations and concepts and hope to use this knowledge during our next beginner course.
Tango 1 (@DNI)
–the class was taught by a group of DNI teachers, which was nice in terms of getting help during the class however a little bit chaotic. Anyway, I learnt how to lead rebote with a forward turn, after which we added one sacada into the woman’s turn. 1/3 of the class was of course walking.
There are two important event in December when it comes to tango in Buenos Aires (or more: Argentina). December 11 is Dia Nacional del Tango and on December 6 there is La Gran Milonga Nacional. For this occasion beautiful and wide Avenida de Mayo (it resembles Champs-Élysées a lot) was closed and two stages for tango orchestras were built at the ends. In the middle – thousands of people dancing tango :) The dancers’ scene was divided in a similiar way as the milongas – next to the scene where Los Reyes del Tango was playing were old milonguers while most of the young crowd was concentrated next to the scene where Sexteto Milonguero was playing. I stayed for Sexteto Milonguero’s concert – I can only comment it with Eric Cartman’s words “Awesome!”.
