WEEK-END WITH TAMARA & DAVID
Our July presentation started as usual with our regular Thursday Milonga in Cafe Bali where Tamara and David gave a short presentation of their craft. Rob from Australia , Lola, Joel & wife and daughter and Matthew joined our circle .
The Welcome Milonga for Tamara and David as well as for our weekend guest tangueros Glen and Jacky from Adelaide, Matt from Seattle was attending with Mina from Japan , Suzanne and Hamid from New York found place on Friday with a tasty Buffet in our private garden setting of Casa Arista. Unexpected tangueros who found their way to us, Thomas from Germany with girlfriend Vita from Jakarta.Very, very unexpected Paul Oen who used to be our student in Jakarta but has now moved to Bali . He actually visited art cafe where he attended a Jazz night. At Art cafe he found our tango flyer ,thus he found his way to Casa Artista.
Teo was there and Matthew Ferrol brought Liza from France .We danced and talked according to our motto Talk'nTango. David and Hamid discovered their passion in common : soccer ! It happened that they discussed strategies and players form different teams until late in the night...
Next Morning all students were in full attendance on the parquet for Our first WS: Tango elegance :Giro's and turns, followed by WS" Boleos .Quite a challenge for most of us. Very good Tami's tip for the Kick: this was even new for me to understand.
The tango night was real fun . Pablo and my son Julian were busy preparing a real argentinean Asado, fantastic steaks and chorizos were grilled. Argentinean contingent around Marcel and Pablo attended the evening. Casa's delicious home cooking was well presented by our kitchen staff.
Longtime tanguero Gianfranco, Swiss Christine and daughter Mei Lin were seen .Wai Ching came from Ubud. Mimi , Teo , Allison & Pablo from Tango Bali . My daughter Aylin and nice Ingrid had fun dancing Salsa in between as some other guests were in attendance.
The show was brilliant, Tamara and David got huge applause, from the Argentine contingent specially. A vibrant party ending with salsa and disco has everybody having great fun.
Next day, Ingrid and Mimi and Aylin were seen in the workshops Milonga and Vals. The theme was brilliantly presented by David and Tamara with ease and typical latino humor.
After the workshops and a short break we met all for a short sunset Milonga on the beach in front of Gado Gado . The sand felt nicely and soft for our swollen feet .
Except for , our Tanguero from Seattle who has a never ending dancing energy , we were all tired of tangoing .
As a very nice closing to our event we took a drink at the prestigious Gado Gado restaurant in beautiful beachfront setting and chatting and having fun before we called it a day.
From now on, we shall make this beach Milonguita and a drink at Gado Gado a regular closing program.
