I had a dream that Ney and Jennifer were already in Seattle, and that I met them at a bar.  The three of us became fast friends.  For some reason he took me under his wing and shared his secrets with me - the keys to unlock the mystery of gracefully following all kinds of different turns.   While I’m sure all of this won’t quite happen, I’m hoping that we’ll at least get along and that I’ll enjoy my lesson with them.  I am just enamoured of their elegance and I’ve been so excited to meet them that I hope I’m not starry-eyed when I do.  I hope I can be serious and absorb what it is I need to absorb from their visit.  And that I can just enjoy it.  But aren’t they cute????? heeeeeee…. This is a big deal - it’s the first non-Argentine couple I’ve been giddy about.  Like ever.

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.  

See, a while back, while still living in Italy, I had e-mailed Ney asking if he would add a link for Umbria’s tango community to his website.  He sent me a very nice response - and added the link to his page.
Coincidentally, just a couple of months later my friend Helaine, who started Umbria Tango, invited Ney and Jennifer to Perugia to perform at their Friday night milonga.  (They were already to be in the Capri Tango festival as well as Florence, so it seemed opportune.)  Naturally they went…

I’m just dying to know what they thought of Perugia and its ever so warm Tango community.
