Subject: Getting back to normal
After a month without dancing, I was overjoyed to hear the news that
Enrique's milonga was opening at Region Leonesa on Saturday afternoon. I
passed the word along to others since there had been no announcements made
either on 2X4 radio or Solo Tango tv about milonga openings and few use the
internet. I walked to Leonesa since I live only twelve blocks away. As I
arrived at the corner, I could hear tango music coming from inside the hall.
I had been holding my breath that the milonga wouldn't be cancelled as so
many had been in the past few weeks. The music confirmed that I would be
dancing as I had planned for the next several hours.
As I walked up the staircase, the music energized and inspired me. Weeks
had passed since I had really danced. I don't count the night I went to
Circulo Trovador in Vicente Lopez or the night I had one tanda in Salon
Canning before the police closed the place. The cashier who greeted me with
a big smile and a hug understood how happy I was to be there. My first
glimpse of the floor full of dancers was exhiliarating. I could hardly wait
to get on the floor to dance.
Enrique Rosich greeted me. He, too, was glad to be back in business since
this milonga is his only work. He and Milva give a class before the milonga.
There were so many smiling faces, evidence that everyone was glad to be back
in the milonga. I felt a high energy level. It was like a reunion with
friends whom you hadn't seen for a long time. A woman commented that the
milonga is the only place she feels comfortable going alone since there are
always so many people she knows.
Dancers started leaving around 9pm and others began to arrive. The dancing
wasn't going to stop until 4:00 in the morning. The changing of milonga
organizers happens around 10:30pm when the Milonga de Los Consagrados ends
and the milonga El Cachafaz begins. Carlitos, the DJ, kept the music going
continuously as the second shift of dancers (mainly couples) including lots
of tourists started arriving after 11pm. The two milongas are like night
and day. I got nailed in the foot by a young, inexperienced tourist wearing
her new spiked heels which she is not ready to use. I sat out several
tandas to apply ice to my bleeding foot. The last tandas weren't enjoyable
since my attention focused on protecting my feet.
Tito Palumbo was there to distribute the January issue of B.A. Tango and the
new Guia Trimestral with complete information on everything to do with tango
in BsAs. Unfortunately, we will still have to wait for word on when there
will be other milonga openings, and tango in Buenos Aires will be back to
normal.
