Monday Tango thoughts.

To me, tango is a universal language – spoken not in words, but in movement. Like any true language, it is not learned just through memorization, but through a deep understanding of its core principles – the essence of partners’ communication, the pulse and energy of motion – and through practice. The path through tango should be walked with patience – the fluency will follow, along with the gift of improvisation. For tango, like language, unfolds with time. And if the beautiful music of tango doesn’t inspire patience, perhaps it is not the dance that needs adjusting, but the expectations brought to it.

PARADISO’S 22nd ANNIVERSARY ON ARPIL 5, 2019!

These tips are useful but they missed one really important one: DON’T LOOK LIKE A TOURIST! I’ve been to B.A. many times, stayed mostly in San Telmo and later on Avenida de Mayo in Congresso, walked home from a milonga in San Telmo after 1 am – and never got in any trouble. Yes, those were different times... But a fellow tanguero form Germany was robbed of his wallet in a broad daylight in a middle of downtown during those “different” times simply because his outfit was screaming “I am a tourist”: among “classically” dressed locals in a monochrome colours of B.A. fall he looked like a canary on a walk... 
Any tip is useful when visiting Buenos Aires – but the main suggestion is to use your common sense!
