  • Bad-A-Tude…Got to Getcha Some!

    There’s a T-shirt sold here in tourist shops that says: Good Girls Go to Heaven. Bad Girls Go to Montreal. I don’t know what it is about this city but it has a way of bringing out the badness in any good girl – and in a very good way, especially during Formula One Race…

  • Timing is everything

    My trip to Tokyo was ill-timed for attending a milonga but not for taking a tango class.  This time, instead of a private lesson, I took a group class at the Tropicana bar/club located in the Roppongi Hills area in the Minato district of Tokyo.  It’s a high-rise, über-urban community that allows residents and visitors…

  • Shall We Dance, Tokyo?

    Thanks to all of you tangueros and tangueras who were kind enough to provide contacts to instructors and milongas in Tokyo.  If any of my other fellow dancers have suggestions on milongas or salsa clubs – I’ll happily take them as I don’t leave until Thursday.

    Athough I have been in a dating no man’s land lately,  I have to confess that I haven’t been quite celibate.  I did unexpectedly stumble upon a tiny oasis in the non-dating desert one night this past summer.  It happened at a local salsa club here in Montreal.  I really didn’t feel like going, but…

  • Post It Notes

    The Tango Sharks were out in full force and let me tell you this is one time you won’t mind being bitten.
