Over the weekend many of us went to the festival in Islington, London hosted by Nati y Bruno from Tanguito. It was amazing! Saturday night was jam-packed. It was hard to dance at all until past midnight. But the atmosphere was great. And the performances were phenomenal! I've been trying to copy the way Christina Sosa does those tiny little ochos. She makes them look so easy and delicate.. Whilst I literally look like a waddling penquin! Miriam y Dante's second performance was definitely my favourite! In the words of our ex-president: Andrew (who had slightly too much to drink) "the dance was very contemporary. They dance so well together. And Miriam is something special, the things she can do - She's beautiful". Sunday night was much quieter; after the neighbours complained about the noise. Pfft! People need to appreciate Tango. It's not like we were blasting out heavy metal all night! Plus, the neighbours were a fire station and a pub! I'm sure they make far more noise on a regular basis! It didn't ruin the milonga though. I still had a fantastic time! I barely sat down. AND I bought a new pair of Tango shoes - although I refuse to check my bank statement now... It was worth it though. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them. I just had to buy them. I knew I'd regret it otherwise! They're from Balanceo :) I missed out on the Friday and Monday nights and all the workshops sadly. But it was a fabulous weekend! Thank you to all the organisers, DJs, behind the scenes people & all the attendes. Roll on London Tango Festival 2016!!! Ciao, Charlay
