Tango from the skies!

This is a tango event organized by my home community!  One tango dancer was flying over on warm-air-baloon filming this video. It seems to be in the beginning of the evening so there is still only few dancers but the number of white chairs shows the expectations for this summer evening!

This is a facebook video so I cannot embed it here but if you click the link below you can get the whole thing with sound too! (It was posted 27th of July 2016)

Shanghai Festival

During last weekend they have been dancing in Shanghai! This is the 6th festival and the first time I *participated* - I did it virtually via a live link provided by my Korean Facebook friend. With other words I was sitting on my soffa at home watching the live link showing me the performances and later on the dancing!  All that without any delay!! The time difference is working for me because the performances were some time after the midnight but it was 6 or 7 PM here in Nordic so I could watch them simultaneously with my friends in Shanghai.

The live fb window looks like this with a red eye sybol and a number for the onlookers.

I cannot link any fb videos directly here you get just some links in public mode. 

Thanks 정연도 for the videos!

The organizers have exposed the female dancers most! In the program you can find Guillermina Quiroga, Stella Missé and Alejandra Gutty highlighted and their partners are presented further in to the site.

Here some lines about the organizers presented on the page:

Matias Sotto (Argentina) and Vivian Yeh (Taiwan) the two Tango Fanatics that have more than 10 years teaching and dancing experience met in Buenos Aires and are giving Tango lessons and organizing milongas together in regular basic, 5 days a week in Shanghai.

TangoBang has been working closly with Argentina Counsulate to introduce the Tango Culture to Shanghai.

During 2010 Shanghai EXPO, the two parties hosted several successful Tango events in Argentina Pavilion, including the first ever milonga in EXPO, that brought Argentina Tango to Shanghai, China, and the visitors from all over the world.

In 2011, TangoBang successfully hosted the 1st Shanghai International Tango Festival. Tangueros around the world joined the festival was impressed by the passion and the standard of dance in Shanghai.

Alejandra y Aoniken the most touching

They are thr most touching couple for me thesee days!
Often times I am near the tears through the video and I watch it again and again. Not happening with any other couple!

Her body moves like a floating whiplash to music and he seems to offer the adventurous enough interpretation of the music for her!

Vibrating music!

These nobs were vibrating to music! 

 It was a strange experience and I returned every now and then to feel 

how a specific song or cortina feels to my hands.

Try it!  I am sure you will find different physical objects vibrating to your favorite music!

At a shoe shop in Lillehammer

A shoe shop needs a proper piece of furniture!! Don't you agree?!

Encuentro in Lillehammer!

The Saturday afternoon milonga in Lillehammer, Norway was the most crowded one! 

I enjoyed it deeply!!    I really felt I was dancing

In the same night we lost a significant number of dancers to TV  

an important football game was more interesting for many participants!  

(this goes totally beyond my understanding . . . .)

The afternoon situation!

(what is going on with this photo???  we seems to be streched vertically??)

                                                     . . . . and the dizzy feeling of dancing in a crowd!

Some were enjoying the cortias too!!
