Hope you are both finally settl...Dear Bob and Viv,<br /><br />Hope you are both finally settled in after your trip! We thought you'd enjoy the videos of our night in La Baldosa...<br /><br />A couple of things - firstly, Maestro Jorge didn't congratulate us because we were foreign. He congratulated us because he has known us.... since 2008. But perhaps your hypothesis is right about him being the first to congratulate all extranjeros who perform in Buenos Aires... it's just that it's so rare that extranjeros get to perform, we can't really test your theory :-)<br /><br />Secondly, La Baldosa, being such a popular milonga, was really a mix of foreign tango tourists and Argentines. Judging from the last time we performed in March at Circulo Apolo, in which the spectators were 100% Argentinian - we would actually get more enthusiastic applause if there weren't any foreigners in the audience feeling bored about what we were doing on the dance floor. Foreigners, from our experience, are usually waiting for the high kicks, flashing panties and power blender turns before they could be dazzled into clapping. This is the reason why we refuse to perform in Canada - not having a sufficient quota of such amazing acrobatic skill means that any performance from us in Toronto would be met with the stony sound of silence with a lone cricket chirping.<br /><br />[We're just pulling your leg. Oh, thanks for the invitation to your practica - see you guys there! Wait a moment, how long do you think it will take for the taxi to get to Wales?]<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Irene and Man YungIrene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-40006711281686563772010-11-10T07:36:12.502-05:002010-11-10T07:36:12.502-05:00As usual Jorge Garcia was not only brilliant but t...As usual Jorge Garcia was not only brilliant but the first to congratulate the extranjeros.<br />Not that you were not all brilliant, but for me he just has that something special.<br />I know it was a nerve racking experience for you giving a demo in front of Argentines, you will not forget this night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-74710889416720541492010-11-09T15:55:31.943-05:002010-11-09T15:55:31.943-05:00Dear Justin,

Unfortunately, we didn't get any opportunity to film Alberto and Paulina during this trip. Nevertheless, don't be disappointed - Alberto says he is planning to return to North America in the spring of 2011. If you didn't get a chance to catch him on his recent tour this fall, there's another chance in the very near future!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment,<br /><br />Irene and Man YungIrene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-83943148784294212712010-11-09T12:39:35.359-05:002010-11-09T12:39:35.359-05:00Thank you for lots of videos and taking us along f...Thank you for lots of videos and taking us along for the ride.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015128813032557057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-39759251863967181762010-11-08T17:15:02.089-05:002010-11-08T17:15:02.089-05:00Dear Christine,

We thought what they were teaching was kind of unorthodox for tango ;-)<br /><br />Just kidding! I think El Tacuari's website has a typo. Osvaldo and Coca teach tango/milonga/vals there on Fridays. Unfortunately, that's appears to be the only classes they are teaching at this moment - but if you get a chance, take all the classes you can with Osvaldo and Coca that you can grab hold of. They are wonderful teachers, and wonderful people.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Irene and Man YungIrene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-43245836965056835642010-11-07T13:16:29.007-05:002010-11-07T13:16:29.007-05:00Thanks for the great post

Do you know where I can take a tango class from them?Frances Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661376516065335102noreply@blogger.com
