Painting Tango

1st July 2009

I sometimes do paintings when I get back from dancing (mainly Negracha) if I want to remember a particularly wonderful tango.

Glade


A quiet night at a milonga when everyone was calm and peaceful and you could just snuggle into close embrace and walk without fear of being struck by wayward boleos.

Argentine Tango Dancer


Lost in the moment of the dance.

Dolphins Playing


A “What if?” practica.

Dragons Dancing


A playful follower adding her own energy to the dance without overwhelming it.

Reflections


Striking a balance between the passion and technique.

Sparks


a dance where we both kept inspiring the other to new heights.

Storm Rising


A long moody cabeceo that slowly and gradually gave rise to a tempest.

Tango Angel


If you look closely you may see her looking down.

Tango Fire


Exploring different kinds of tango connection.

Zen Tango


That wonderful place where your mind is still and your body knows exactly what to do.
