Summer Chronicles

Jackie Wong's recent visit to the Midwest during the end of July occasioned some adventurous tango outings for a number of intrepid C-U tangueros.

Read Jackie's account of tango happenings in Chicago and Champaign with the people she calls our "tango underground." She's got some good photos there as well. (You can click these little ones to enlarge, by the way.)

Spontaneous Milongas

You have to admire the inventiveness of tango folk looking for places to dance.

Armed with a few sheets of linoleum, a roll of duct tape and a boom box, Aishah and Julia have created a portable indoor/outdoor dance hall that is on-call for almost any short-notice happenings that crazed tango addicts might dream up.

Watch for them at a roadside near you!
