Yo La Tango Mini-Fest in Austin! Nov 29-Dec 03

It's not too late to figger out a way to get yer tail here and dance it off...



Teachers are Murat & Michelle Erdemsel and Felipe Martinez & Maria Elena Ybarra...

6 milongas! 7 cool and funky Austin venues! And a bunch of other cool stuff! You know you've been wanting to come check out Austin - now is your chance.

Come see me! I miss y'all...(grin)

Rattlesnake Shake

Hustlin' across the desert, leaving El Ghettoeste, vuelvo al cradle of love, doing the Rattlesnake Shake, Looking For Madge, Then Play On, and long, drawn out Loan Me Dime, ponderin' on all the beauty in the world, as it passes by, obscure in the desert fog, at 130kmh...

Tango Libre

"The latest film from Belgian director Frederic Fonteyne ('Une Liaison Pornographique') mirrors the sultry, shifting rhythms of the dance in mapping a complicated web of relationships."
