Strength and Balance Exercises
At the end of a dance class or long Milonga, who hasn't at one time or another felt their feet starting to complain? If you are as interested as we are in learning more about how to keep dancing strong and for a long time, you may enjoy watching Active-Isolated Strength Training.

International Day of Peace
How peaceful is your world? Do you have a peaceful inner life? Learning how to be focused in the present moment, is one of the lessons we need to learn in Tango to be good followers. Learning how to stop the internal mind chatter and allowing ourselves to simply be present to our partner. It's not easy, our minds are so busy full of thinking noise; imagined conversations, plans, remembering, worrying, obsessing, wondering...
I invite you to stop what you are doing, relax all the muscles in your face, relax all the muscles around your eyes and mouth, allow yourself to smile... focus on your breath for a few breaths... When you are are next ready to practice tango, practice from your calm inner space.

Tango Art by Trud
Stumbled across this lovely Tango Shoe - Art by Trud at DearDemoiselle all the way from Oslo Norway. You can buy it or another similar beauty at the DearDemoiselle Etsy Shop. I wish I could buy a pair to dance in.
I discovered this gorgeous shoe via Trud's blog: Tango Immigrant

Invest in Tango - Help make this Tango movie happen
Invest in Tango - be a part of Tango History. "Glorias del Tango" is an ambitious and exciting feature film that will end the decade-long silence of tango on the silver screen.
Kick Starter is where you will be directed to back Glorias del Tango.
Things to know about Kickstarter:
1. Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative projects.
We’re a home for everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of projects, big and small, that are brought to life through the direct support of people like you. Since our launch in 2009, more than 4.6 million people have pledged over $735 million, funding more than 46,000 creative projects. Thousands of creative projects are raising funds on Kickstarter right now.
2. Each project is independently created.
The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control over and responsibility for their projects. Kickstarter is a platform and a resource; we’re not involved in the development of the projects themselves. Anyone can launch a project on Kickstarter as long as it meets our guidelines.
3. Together, creators and backers make projects happen.
Project creators set a funding goal and deadline. If people like a project, they can pledge money to make it happen. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing — projects must reach their funding goals to receive any money. All-or-nothing funding might seem scary, but it’s amazingly effective in creating momentum and rallying people around an idea. To date, an impressive 44% of projects have reached their funding goals.
“ There’s just something magical about Kickstarter... You immediately feel like you’re part of a larger club of art-supporting fanatics.” — Amanda Palmer, who rallied 25,000 backers to support her album, book, and tour.

What is the Tango?
One of my favourite questions when meeting new tango dancers is to find out how they started tango... so while we are on the topic - how did you start Tango - let me know!
Dancing on a variety of Floors
I just read an interesting article via a link on facebook - Dancing on Bad Floors (Without Killing Yourself, Your Knees, or Anyone Else).
A few years ago a friend of ours shared with us, how to use duct tape on the base of shoes to convert ordinary shoes temporarily into dance shoes - which we have used at times - with a degree of success. It's very helpful if you are dancing on surfaces where you don't want to destroy your expensive dance shoes we've found. However, duct tape is just one solution to the dilemma, and this article has so many ideas that I had never heard about before.
I have seen a pair of shoes converted with plastic milk cartons! Who'd have thought you could do that? Not me that's for sure, but they work - I'll see if I can convince this person to share his skills with a 'how to' on this blog sometime.
Art - In these shoes? I don't think so

Analia Carreño y Luis Ramirez
We attended A Little Buenos Aires 13th Anniversary at The Polish Club in Ashfield last night and were treated to a performance by Analia y Luis. It was stunning - what a couple! And their daughter is just as cute as a button, she was a delight helping end the show with her little bow with her beautiful parents! This video is from a performance at Salon Canning, I'm hoping that a copy of their performance last night is listed on youtube soon, they are so beautiful to watch. We did one of their workshops yesterday and are only regretting not being able to get away to do more of their classes. If you get a chance to see their performances or to attend their classes - grab it.

El violin de becho
Heard El violin de becho last week at the Tango Embrace practica at Collaroy, the music was so lovely to dance to and everyone was asking what the music was. As I went in search of the music I found this beautiful dance on youtube - Maria Filali and Fausto Carpino dancers.
How lucky the locals are on the Northern Beaches of Sydney - Margarita and Guy teach Argentine Tango at Collaroy, Avalon, and hold Milongas at Collaroy, Seaforth and Willoughby as well as Practicas - to find out more visit their facebook page
