Milonga in the Park

A Milonga is a place or event where tango is danced. There is a popular Milonga on Sunday evenings in a park, under a big gazebo, with a marble floor. We stopped by last night to take a peek. Enchanting. I snapped a few pics while it was still light outside. These were taken at the start of the milonga. When we returned after dinner, the dance floor was packed, with layers of spectators around the fence.

Buenos Aires is where tango originated, for those of you who may not know, and the scene/music are everywhere. It also has a vibrant lindy hop scene too. We've been late in getting started--with Tyler's organ mishaps and all--but are itching to dive in now. I've got two years of tango under my belt, and Tyler has joined me for several sessions of classes. Lindy hop is how we met, and we're well-versed in that.

We are interviewing some babysitters this week so that Tyler and I can start taking classes and going to Milongas. I miss my friends who I could unreservedly trust to take Pea at such times.
