New York 26 Jan 2012
When my tango passion got too high, I would do nothing other than Tango.
This trip was a complete tango trip.
2 days in New York. One night Milonga at East Village, One afternoon Milonga around Soho area.
I did not know why, I had a really high expectation on the tango community in New York, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. I thought the tango experience in Chicago was too good to be true, so I properly got some false hope on New York.
Friday night Milonga at East Village- Milonga Rosa
It was a very fine day on my second day in New York. So, I decided to walk all the way from Brooklyn to Manhattan for the afternoon Milonga. It was more than 1.5 hours, but you know, I love walking anyway.
Every time I walked on Brooklyn Bridge, I can’t help missing Steph who was the very first person that walked this bridge with me. It was a very very cold Xmas.
Love to capture the people who walked on bridge, they are interesting.
I got hungry after arriving at Manhattan, so I went to China town for lunch. A hot soup noodles was nice in the cold weather.
Soft V.S Hard, Warm V.S Cold
The old and new building can be together in New York. Why not HK?
Passing Union Square, people were having fun on a Sat afternoon.
Finally reached the venue of afternoon Milonga after this long walk. Of coz, I bought a pair of earrings and a dress on the way.
Had fun dancing with a black guy in Milonga and he told me a lot about the tango community in New York. Also met another flight attendant from Italy who dance around the world as me.
It was not the best tango experience, but I got a taste of dancing tango in New York. Hope to dance at the outdoor Milonga at Central Park one day.
