Teenagers win 2010 Salon Championship |

Tuesday, 31 August 2010 |

 Sebastian Ariel
Jimenez and Maria Ines Bogado, both 18, have been crowned winners of the Salon
Tango Championship. They won ahead of 2 other couples from Argentina, one from Japan
(the home of the 2009 winners) and one from Venezuela. And while you can read a
newspaper reports online probably the best report I have read so far comes from
blogger Mark, who got his tickets when he entered the heats of the competition
and arrived early enough to get a good seat.
Below is the
performance Sebastian Jiminez and Maria Bogado gave after their win was
announced.

Para Los Ninos weekend in Brisbane |
|
Sunday, 08 August 2010 |
|
 What an exciting idea - get all your friends together, dress up and Tango to wonderful music for 3 days - and raise money for an orphanage at the same time ! TangoAustralia asked a Brisbane Tanguero to tell us about the amazing weekend at the end of September where Brisbane became the place for tango, and the magnificent old buildings of the city were used to show off tango dance and music.

Milonga Manners: How do I get a dance without actually asking ? |
|
Thursday, 15 February 2007 |
|
 I have been learning tango for about four months and recently went to my first milonga. (I danced salsa for four years so I was used to going to dances). I sat and waited for someone to dance with me most of the night until luckily one guy, who I go to class with, asked me to dance. Otherwise I would have sat all night. It seems that the people who have been going for a long time all have regular partners and I don't seem to be able to be using the right signals. What can I do?
