Maybe it was because I couldn't dance tonight (lingering affects of skydiver's-bad-landing-leg).
Or maybe it's just that whenever I start to look at "My Maps" on Google I'm drawn to the couple of tags wayyyyy south of where the rest of my tags are. That is, on the mouth of the Rio Platte. En la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Where I'm planning to return. With cameras. Writing machinery. A desire for another tailored suit. And, a desire for hours and weeks of milonga y tango.

That's the dream. The intention. Financed in part by my knowledge of how to mash things up and do "social media artistry." A fascination – and a steep learning curve.
As I was stumbling around My Maps and various My MapMaker tools I got to thinking that I should locate Mayoral y Elsa Maria's tango studio, where I studied in in 2007. Which took me to this video of a young tango student dancing with one of my teachers, Pablo. They're in Mayoral y Elsa Maria's lovely studio. It's a nice clip, showing a fairly simple but elegant bit of dancing. Pablo is a wonderful young man. A great and subtle dancer, and without the attitude of some tangueros. I look forward to seeing him – and learning from him – again.
And no, this isn't me – hanspetermeyer – dancing. It's a woman called Louise, who was at the studio about 7 months before me.

The video! Where is the video? (Envision imploring hands reaching towards you...)
Hmm.. I'm seeing the video at this end.
La Viruta at Palermo Soho is one of my favorites milongas, you can learn tango with locals and foreigns alike, they have different levels and after the lessons begins the dance with the spontaneous dancers as professionals as the teachers itself! Visit http://lavirutatango.com/ to see the calendar and http://tinyurl.com/2vu7lmf to see more tango and milonga tours
