Lisbon Tango Fest is over. I believe it was a huge success again for the organizers, now in their 16th year (I think)! And it inspired me to write and video-blog on a few issues, mostly etiquette! Thank you for the inspiration. And yes, I’m sorry but yes, this is another blog about etiquette on […]

Ola from Lisbon! And thanks for listening. And those who share my GF / DF eating restrictions will be happy to know that I found the infamous Pastel de Nata in digestible form @ Zarzuela. I also will be attending the Lisbon Tango Festival coming up in a week or so. So I will have
I have been back in Europe for about 3 weeks now. This has included a trip to Berlin to assist Graciela Gonzalez with her classes. This time around I am staying in a sleepy town outside of Brussels called Mons. This will be my base for the next several months. The visit with Graciela was again,

Traveling for Tango [v_icon color=”#dd0000″ size=”18px” target=”_self” name=”moon-airplane”] I recently received a message from a young colleague who was asking for some advice on becoming a traveling teacher and expectations on traveling for Tango. I know some of you are experienced in traveling for tango and some are just starting out on the great adventure. Those

I have been in Istanbul for one week. I have read about the magic of Istanbul and I was here before but something about this place begins to intoxicate! When I first arrived I was overwhelmed by the amount of people on the streets (but there are no tourists, they tell me), and the amounts
On the road again from Geneva to Istanbul. I attended a marathon in Geneva and stopped in Zurich and have one day in Berlin. I most recently learned that if you approach a leader and tell them that you would like to dance with them it is assumed that you are at a lower level!

Still in Torino, I have had an amazing week filled with Art, Architecture, Cinema, Music, Dance! A Creatively Full Week! I had the luxury of going to see the Matisse (and some of his contemporaries) exhibit here in Torino “Matisse e il suo tempo”, at the Palazzo Chiablese. I was so inspired afterwards. I am

And yes I am on the road again! Bye bye Budapest! Hello Switzerland! 5 weeks have passed in Budapest. And this post is probably the least about tango! I had quite some adventures in the end! Like: Having tea in a very eclectic TeaHaz called Zold Teknós (something about turtles!)– decorated with actual teepees and

Made it to Bergen and Oslo Norway safely. I arrived (stressed) after a long journey of cancelled and delayed flights. I really am astonished that I made it to Bergen, Norway, where I attended the 8th Annual Bergen Tango Marathon, with about 200 other people! I guess that the Tango Goddesses were on my side,

I think I have finally caught up on sleep. And in between have been enjoying the lush green of my environs. I have been so well taken care of here at the Tangovilla by my hosts, Stefan and Ralph. I met Stefan at a tango teacher training session a few years ago. We were paired

Hello Tango Friends from the humidity of the northeast! “But it’s not the humidity, it’s the heat”. No wait, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity that kills ya’”. Anyway, either way, not moving is producing puddles around me as I type. I am in air conditioning but it doesn’t seem to matter! But really,

I promised I would bring back some of my experience from the Women’s Retreat where I commented a week back about the class I was going to teach that centered on the pelvis and its function in alignment in tango. Well, the Women’s Retreat was a wonderful way for me to connect with other women

What you see on the internet is rarely what you get. The pictures always look nice and big too! I have also found that it doesn’t matter how many questions you ask unless it is in print somewhere, like a contract, it won’t exist like you think it does. Even sometimes the contract doesn’t matter

We were fortunate to see the ballet Manon in the Teatro Colon. www.teatrocolon.org.ar/index.php We bought “expensive” tickets as I didn’t want to sit in the nose bleed section of the theater. It was pouring rain. We arrived with time to get situated. As we waited in line to climb 4 flights of stairs (at which
