Last night, for the first time ever in my life, I saw the perfect milonga! China Harbor, the last milonga of TangoMagic, I walked in late and sat and watched. There were maybe 24 couples on the floor, in a perfect well spaced line, all respecting the space of each other, and all incredibly great dancers. It was beautiful to watch!
This past weekend we experienced by far the biggest tango event ever in Seattle (well over 400 tangueros showed up). Although we did our best to accommodate everyone, I know, not all was perfect--and that's why I'm writing. If you were attended, please write back with your evaluations. Keep in mind that the purpose of these evaluations is not only to improve future events, but also to let those who did not attend know what TangoMagic was like and help them decide if they would like to attend in the future. So...let me know your thoughts, likes, dislikes, and suggestions you have and I will post them to my web site for everyone to read. YES, let me say that again, I will be posting your comments un-edited to my web site. To help job your memory, here's a brief summary of the event: Instructors: Florencia Taccetti, Hsueh-tze, Robin & Jennifer, Alex Krebs, Flaco & Silvina Venues for classes: Fri: Velocity Dance Center Sat & Sun: Mountaineers Building Venues and DJs for Milongas: Thu evening: China Harbor with DJ Jeannie Castle Fri evening: Century Ballroom Cabaret show followed by milonga with DJ Larry Martin Fri after hours: Washington Dance Club with DJ Dan Boccia Sat evening: La Gran Milonga at Mountaineers Building with DJ Ramu Pyreddy and orchestra Conjunto Berretin Sat after hours: Washington Dance Club with Robin Thomas Sun afternoon: Yellow school bus to Salmon bake milonga at Marina Park Pavilion with DJ Bill Alsup Sun evening: China Harbor milonga with DJ Jaimes Freidgen Mon evening: China Harbor milonga with DJ's Ana, Jeanne, & Hyla Thanks and may the "tango gods" continue to smile upon you all of us.
