CD: Golden Age (A-D). CD: Golden Age (E-Z). Milonga and practicas in Singapore. Tango teachers who had taught in Singapore. Let the embrace do the talking. Posts from the ‘Musings’ Category. Here’s a gem I saw recently. It’s not super flashy and while I don’t usually follow Gaston closely I enjoyed the freedom, playfulness and the inter-play between partners here. I have also just started on the following two books, focusing on the music portion. Tango: let’s dance to the music. The teacher’s sugge...

Melina Sedo, tango teacher, organiser, book author, dj, coach and ex psychologist writes about her work, studies and encounters. Monday, 29 December 2014. Are We Killing Tango?

Melina's two cents: Dressed to kill?
http://melinas-two-cent.blogspot.com/2014/06/dressed-to-kill.html
Melina Sedo, tango teacher, organiser, book author, dj, coach and ex psychologist writes about her work, studies and encounters. Tuesday, 24 June 2014. Within the last year, I have been blogging less and living more. Mostly in a non-Tango context. I even got to spend time with intelligent, non-tangoing adults. So there‘s a discussion I had some time ago:. A non-tanguero: "Why did you dance with that guy in jeans? Referring to a photo on Facebook). Because he‘s wearing jeans? A lot of guys do that! I chos...

Remember two years ago? My first proper post. Thing is: the young men whom I had mentioned in the post are still there. And they brought a lot of friends - both male and female. With them, the „Milonguero“ community is undergoing a significant rejuvenation! This has changed: The alternative Milongas have been replaced...

I want to have fun! These words make me want to shout out:. 8222;What do you think, that a Milonga is? A psycho seminar for self-realisation? Go get a grip! You surely...

A spectre is haunting the european Tango community - the spectre of speed. All the parties have entered into a secret alliance to promote this trend: Milongueros and Nuevoists, Salon dancers and those imitating the brilliant young couples, who inspire dancers from all backgrounds. And is not only me longing for a pause. As well as...

Melina Sedo, tango teacher, organiser, book author, dj, coach and ex psychologist writes about her work, studies and encounters. Thursday, 15 November 2012. Young and beautiful - a Tango obsession? Tango is a great dance and a fabulous environment that brings together people from different countries, ways of life, as well as different age-groups.
