I was thinking about how I’ve always gotten at least one cabeceo invitation at the milongas here in Seattle since my early tango days (Cacho Dante situation a few years ago notwithstanding), and how more recently the majority of my dance invitations have been via the cabeceo, even if it is not a big part of the […]

Ok, that’s it.  I have my private lesson scheduled with Ney & Jennifer, and it will take place in 18 days from now.  Woo woo!
I’m excited to meet them, particularly Ney, for a couple of reasons.  One, their dancing is beautiful. Duh.  Two, Perugia.

In any event, two of my friends (Gregory and Allison) and I decided to […]

Last night, a few songs into a very nice tanda, the man I was dancing with said, “I’m so sorry I keep making mistakes.” 
“What mistakes?” I asked… “I haven’t noticed anything.”

“Well thanks!  Wow, Tango can be such a mental game…”
Isn’t it funny how we do that to ourselves?  And I know we all do.  This […]

Wow.
Click here to listen on her myspace page.
I really enjoy “a un semejante“… so sensual and passionate, and I’m digging “apologia tanguera“… The other two songs on there are more alternative, which I’m not really into, but they are still pretty nice.
Enjoy!
