Although it is a fact in live that we will pass it was still a shock to hear that Osvaldo died. You tell a lot about the past and Coca and Osvaldo together but can you create a blog how Coca is coping? Does she dance? Is she still invited? Etc. <br /><br />Chears, Nico (Amsterdam-Netherlands)Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537779648372826301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-44701432035904394112019-06-21T14:45:57.579-04:002019-06-21T14:45:57.579-04:00That is such an exquisite video - thank you for sh...That is such an exquisite video - thank you for sharing it.

There's nothing more satisfying than to see a Super Flinger paired with a Super Adornista and both trying to out-do each other on the dance floor and looking absolutely ridiculous. Have to give them a wide berth though just in case - we don't want to get hurt by dancing too close to them!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Irene and Man YungIrene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-18483915603837282062019-03-03T11:51:43.000-05:002019-03-03T11:51:43.000-05:00Ha, ha!

The way Fiorentino, Rufino, Famá and Campos sung is drastically different and to a great extent in service of the dancers. My opinion about dancing to Gardel has radically inverted.

As above - we stopped receiving notifications of comments for some reason. <br /><br />Anyway, that is a really good question. Man Yung explains that Chinese people don't eat all kinds of dogs. They only eat "edible dogs" in Cantonese called "Choy Gou" (Choy = vegetable = dish - I think you know what I mean). You can tell easily that most dogs are not "Choy Gou", they have a very distinctive edible look and you can tell they are neither Fido nor Wifi. <br /><br />People will be enlightened after hearing that explanation!<br /><br />Just joking. However, what Man Yung says is true, traditional Chinese cuisine actually differentiate between pet dogs and edible dogs. This is a gross fact that you can tell the people who keep on annoying you about the unfortunate Chinese cultural tradition of dog eating.<br /><br />We are totally against eating dogs (or cats)! Please do not eat them.<br /><br />Lovely to hear from you thanks for your comment Jessie!<br /><br />Irene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-24948676593897554142018-06-24T15:17:40.194-04:002018-06-24T15:17:40.194-04:00Dear Felicity,

I thought people weren't reading our posts anymore lol!<br /><br />Social tango dancing in Toronto is unremarkable. Probably looks like just about any other place in the world - not too bad but not great. That's why no one bothers to post videos of it on Youtube - it's likely NOT to be interesting!<br /><br />The first video you mentioned on your comment was at a milonga hosted by organizers who danced Tango Salon/Villa Urquiza and their students also dance that way too. I don't think (upon last check) that it occurs regularly, I think it might be closed now.<br /><br />Have a lovely Sunday!<br /><br />Irene and Man Yung<br />Irene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-23792140924730577222018-06-18T04:55:28.824-04:002018-06-18T04:55:28.824-04:00Hi Irene,
