Argentine Tango
After dinner last nite, Dave and I decided to try an independent coffee house...we went for their live music. We had a pleasant surprise in that the last Friday of the month is actually Argentine Tango. There is this cool room there, with comfy couches, pretty photos, richly painted walls, a beautiful ornate double door, and lots of candles. A room rich with ambience.
The dancing was beautiful, as was the music. The thing I found so inspiring was the people. It was a true international mix. Everyone was very friendly. I met Sita from India--the Argentine Tango is in her soul. And Jesus from Puerto Rico; his eyes lit up when he spoke of dancing in PR. We met a couple of dance instructors from Iran. Hassan, an Al Pacino double, is Sita's instructor. And Nasrin, spoke of the feminine beauty of the dance. Another married couple there are also instructors; George is from Argentine, his wife Jairelbhi is from Venezuela.
It was a delightful evening of exotic hot tea and beautiful tango...even the candle flames seemed to dance in harmony with the music and dancers.

sounded wonderful.
That sounds like a great place. My boys play at our local coffee shop once in a while...they're kind of a loud band..but I find the atmosphere so neat for the eclectic crowd that gathers there.
I'm here via CWO blogring.
Blessings.

Even though you were in that atmosphere, I bet you snuck in your "Elaine" dance, didn't you?
Anonymous Andy,
Actually no, I was only a bench warmer that evening! Much too fun to watch!
I was searching for George and Jairelbhi. I have been taking some group classes from them. They are incredible. They just got back from Maui and are teaching again.
