    Shoes!

    It's been a long while since we've had some shoe candy and another person and I have some shoes up on eBay, so I thought I'd start a thread. Maybe make it a fun thread and cleanout your shoes ladies and post the links here! :) I've got a new pair of Darcos that didn't fit and some older shoes...

    Is anyone thinking of going to Albuquerque Tango Festival here from DF? (Nov 3-7th, I think). Today they have half off the full festival pass registration. (Just booked mine!) http://albuquerquetangofestival.intuitwebsites.com/

    Dancefloor Managment and Etiqette

    I know la mirada/cabeceo get a lot of air-time, but here's a story and attendant questions to raise your eyebrows... I've been to a couple of milonga these past 2 weekends and been nearly horrified at the level of floorcraft I've seen taking place. My main question to the group is how do you...

    Posture excersizes

    The recent posture discussions have led me to a question about posture excersizes. Does anyone have any good posture excersizes for leads and follows (that includes proper weight placement forward) that they remember from their beginning (or not so beginning) time that you could dredge up from...

    A Canaro Milonga?

    I was at a milonga after the other week and heard this milonga played during a tanda of Canaro milongas (I think)- with a sound in it like a rooster crowing. I thought it was fun but don't know the name. Does it sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!

    stagefright

    I just made a comment in Ampster's thread about the super cute little girl growing up dancing. She'll probably never get stage fright (at least for dancing). How do mere mortals, who haven't been dancing since before they could ride a bike, feel about getting in front of people? My partner...

    Tango in SF/Oakland

    Two new threads from me in under a month...surely the moon will rise in the west now... Now here's my question(s): It looks like I may be in Oakland (near Lake Merritt) for a conference in August and I don't know anything about Tango events in the area except for the alternative milonga at...

    Close Embrace Question

    Hello there everyone. I have a question mainly for the leaders. I was at a milonga last night (the first one I have been to since I got back from Portland) and very quickly noticed that almost everyone in our area dances "V" embrace. I'm afraid after being up in Portland, where the majority of...
