Immortal Tango For All

For those inspired by Immortal Tango, the hot new show running at Sadler’s Wells, you too can learn to dance the Argentine tango.

Tango is known as “the walking dance,” because of its basis in “caminata”, when the couple walk together in complete synchronicity with the leader either in front or to the left or right of the follower. Figures of eight, turns, hooks, leg whips, syncopation and adornments add flare and dynamics to the dance.

Tangolicious now has three classes running per week, including our new Chelsea class at a fantastic venue just off the King’s Road. We hope to see you there!

Asi Se Come El Tango!

For those who haven’t yet visited Argentina, these are the delicious little cakes called “facturas” that are sold in the local bakeries or “panaderias” found every few blocks. They now cost about 4.50 pesos with a small discount for a dozen, though in 2006 they were only about 20 centavos each!

People eat them for breakfast, at tea-time or any time with mate, tea or coffee. Although, apart from the croissants or”medialunas”, they are quite heavy, with optional toppings and fillings of custard (crema inglesa), dulce de leche, a type of jam called “membrillo” or cream cheese, it’s so hot in summer that they are just the right snack to keep you going. Especially if you are going to be dancing tango at a milonga for 3 or 4 hours….
