Malena

Malena (left) and her friends in La Viruta. A new tango star is born. She is 16 and already dances 6 years, speaks english and already good at PR… Remember her when you see her as a world champion or making 150.000 euros per year in the near future, all around the world… This is what i like in BsAs. In Greece i was a Tango Persona. Here i am nothing… The level of the dancers i see every night makes me humble even if my ego resists… Everything in life is a matter of benchmarking. If you compare yourself with the best, you will always evolve, or quit…

Silvio Lavia (Argentinian Tango de Salon teacher), a French lady, and a Greek tango dancer, going together everyday from a milonga to another milonga… Typical BsAs scenario. It is obviously good to speak Spanish in this city but not necessary! Tango dancers from all over the world are here…

WHAT DO YOU DO IN A NON NUEVO MILONGA WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ASK A WOMAN TO DANCE WITH BODY LANGUAGE (CABESEO)? YOU GO TO  A WOMAN WITH NUEVO CLOTHES AND SIMPLY ASK HER TO DANCE. THAT IS WHAT I DID. AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY, BUT SHE IS NOT FROM ARGENTINA! SHE IS FROM PARIS, SHE LOVES NUEVO, AND SHE BECAME MY FIRST TANGO PARTNER IN BUENOS AIRES! GOTANGOD EXISTS, AND HE IS NUEVO…
