Special Storm Damage Project

Many Australian tangueros know about the wonderful work done by the Sociedad para los Niños to support underpriviledged children and develop foster homes in Buenos Aires.  If you have ever attended a Milonga para los Niños , your participation will have contributed to this good cause.

Just before Easter, Buenos Aires was hit by a storm of enormous proportions causing deaths and destruction. The foster home Hogar S.I.A.N.D. lost its roof and needs urgent repair. There is no publicly funded assistance. Here's how you can help.

The Gift

The woman had been dancing for only a short while, but had the ability to give herself to the tango & her partner. Later, she told a friend: “It felt like I was being taken on a tour of a village that he knew well, pointing out the important and interesting places to me, the places that he loved. It was like receiving a gift.”

The man obviously knew the music well, knew its changing dynamic, its different emotional highpoints. The woman was prepared to listen to his body and move with his energy. He felt privileged by the trust that had been given.

No figures and sequences, no choreography or show, just two people, the music, and entrega.
