Saturday night milonga

On Saturday Dj Sonja Armisen played nuevo tango on the large dance floor in the theater while traditional tango was played in the foyer by Don Carlos.
In the theater there were a huge video projection all the time. Very impressive.

Tango everywhere and at the square

Halfway between the hotel Holiday Inn and Tanzhaus (just a 5-6 minute walk btw) there is a square where there is a pretty good pizza place if want to grab a quick meal between lessons.

Yesterday night I sat down there with the team who films and produces the Tangocamp DVD. After a while I realized: There is really tango music being played even here, it was not just in my head as I first thought.

Some local dancers had decided to have a "guerilla" milonga at the square. Really nice.

Do you also have "guerilla" milongas in your local tango scene? Please comment.

Friday night milonga

Yesterday was the first big milonga night in Dusseldorf with two dance floors. The main room is built as a theater so beside the large dance floor (the stage) there is also plenty of space to get a good angle to watch the dancers.



Sexteto Milongero was playing right next to the dancers which gave the milonga an intimate feeling and a good contact between the dancers and the orchestra.



The dance floor was full with dancers all through the night.

Check in in Dusseldorf

Right now check in is going on in Dusseldorf. The weather is so nice so it's done outside in the shade.

Tangoshow at Tanzhaus, Dusseldorf

Yesterday the teachers of Tangocamp made a spectacular show at Tanzhaus in Dusseldorf. All the colors of the lighting added to the intensity in the performances. All the emotions that the performers are portraying became even stronger.





Everybody finds different things they like in the performances: I like like the high intensity and theatrical feel of Adrian Veredice & Alejandra Hobert, the playfulness of Pablo Villarraza & Dana Frigoli in a milonga, the precision in the steps that Javier Rodriguez & Stella Missé has.




I like the softness and sense of caring that I feel from Marcelo Gutiérrez & Sigrid van Tilbeurgh; how Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne has a physical and emotional connection between them and how they make every step look easy.




I like the different energy when two men dance together like Ozhan Araz & Serkan Gokcesu and I love the roundness and swirling feeling that Damian Esell & Nancy Louzan has.






The Tanzhaus was sold out and after the tango show the performers were given a standing ovation by the audience.





Were you at the tango show at Tanzhaus? What are the things you liked about it.? Please comment.
