Last Night’s Milonga

This is the first in what I hope to be a series of posts on milongas I’ve been to in Eugene and elsewhere.
Last night was good! It was a full day of tango, with practice in the morning followed by Rebecca and Dominic’s workshops, then a couple of lessons in the evening, nap, and dance until 2 am. There was a boatload of folks down for Stumptown, fun dancers who added the exotic to the evening. The Lesson was handled expertly by Rebecca and Dominic with Rebecca dj the evening later on, spinning mostly trad with a few sprinkles of alternative thrown in toward the end of the night She managed the energy pretty well and the music kept people dancing. Well done.
Overall it was a good turnout, with R and D’s performance rocking the house and a birthday dance for A …(it wasn’t exactly on her b-day, but close enough). Rhonda set out a fancy feast of cheese and crackers and Ellen from Backstage brought a selection of shoes for those who felt they were footware-challenged. D and P crashed and burned, laughing all the way :)
The afterparty went alternative hardcore with Dj Chris opening with R.E.M. and then getting reaaaaally funky. The night ended with Greg chasing folks around with the ubiquitous Mr. Video Camera.
Everyone a winner. BTW, the UO tango club is looking for space on campus for their Friday Practica…if you have ideas for cheap danceable spaces on campus, post a comment and let me know!
