Magical Tango Moments

June 17, 2014

Have you ever had a dance in which time seems to stop and its just you and your partner and the music. Your mind is no longer thinking about the steps or your technique or the crowded floor. It feels like your body is moving automatically and in perfect unison with your partner and with the music. Its beautiful and you don't want it to end.  And when the tanda does finally end … [Read more...]

It's been a while since we do a spotlight on any t It's been a while since we do a spotlight on any teacher. But someone like @lucianavallel who has been a regular visiting teacher for over 20 years, we are very glad to welcome her back to San Francisco for the first time post-pandemic! (link in bio!👆)

Starting with pre-Milonga class this Thursday Aug 10 at @milongamalevaje, Friday Aug 11 at Milonga Genesis (hosted by @tangosabor) and two weekends of Intensive Tango Workshops at Monte Cristo Social Club (event link in bio👆)!

What a spectacular Music Celebration Day it was in What a spectacular Music Celebration Day it was in Berkeley! 🎶🎉 Hosted by @afberkeley and @ecolebilingue , an intercultural event with a one-time Milonga transported the attendees to the streets of Paris with "A Tango in Paris" Fête de la Musique. 🇦🇷🇫🇷

The event started with a conversation – part interview, part presentation – between @myriamdasilva_photo and @ayano.yoneda.tango (dancer, teacher, and co-founder of the Tango Poetry Project), who shared her insights on how immigration between Argentina and France has shaped the history of tango. 

As the evening progressed, we were treated to the live music by the Swiss Bandoneon player @fueyequerido and SF local pianist @sethasarnow . This may be their last appearance as a piano-bandoneón duo for quite a while as Adrian and his family are moving to Switzerland! Of course, there was some “romance de Paris” for the occasion (e.g., the tango ‘Griseta’ was one of the songs they played!). 

With many local tango dancers attending, to add to the ambience of the night, DJ @cruz.fierro handpicked tango tandas to keep the dancing going between live music sets and transport the audience from Buenos Aires to Paris.

✨ Vecher Tango at the Russian Center had another ✨ Vecher Tango at the Russian Center had another star-struck night!✨

@ariadnayfernando returned to San Francisco after their last visit in 2016 for @noras_tango_week.

On top of teaching all afternoon and performing four songs of their choice, they surprised us with an improvised encore to live music by Seth Asarnow (@sethasarnow on piano) and Adrian Jost (@fueyequerido on bandoneón), a first-time collaboration for the four artists altogether!! 👏👏♥️♥️🙌🙌 ¡Qué celebración del Tango!

Thank you Julia Schiptsova @juliasch999 and Davood Yazdani for bringing @ariadnanaveira and @fernet_sanz back to SF! We look forward to welcoming them back later this year in Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for details.
