First impressions

So familiar yet so different to what we are used to. It is amazing how quickly you adjust to a new lifestyle and how very easy it is to immerse yourself in tango. If you are looking for the dance, it is there, if you know where to look, behind doors with no names, along with exclusive tango shoe shops behind locked doors.

Our first two milongas have been chalk and cheese. A traditional dance at Club Gricel and a gay milonga with some of the most elegant dancers I have seen.

Today a group lesson with Pablo and Valeria. Absolute technicians. We enjoyed it so much, we have a private lesson with them next week. There is so much to absorb and so little time. I understand why dancers are captivated by this city and I now understand why our teachers, Sandra and Ross have been coming here for nine years.
