Sally and I decided to have a blogger union at Cafeteria La Ideal's afternoon milonga. Got there around 5;00pm, it was quiet. Sally walked in a few minutes after. We were so happy to finally meet.
Ideal was quiet at that hour, only one of two couple dancing on the floor. We chatted a bit until a Pugliese was played and a Sally's regular cabeceoed her. Sally danced like some one who has been dancing for a few years instead of just one year.
She has very precise steps and cute little embellishment. It was a pleasant treat to watch her dancing with the milonguero.
We had a nice tanda of tango and vals. She looked so good that a guy kept his eyes on her all time while we were dancing. But he was one of those bad dancers. Sally was way out of his league.
Time flied when you had a great time. It was close to 6:30 and I had to take off for private. It was wonderful to meet an amazing woman like sally in the real world. It makes cyber world a little more humane.

This felt like a very special moment: Two tango dancing bloggers from different lands far far apart, meet for the first time by arrangement in La Confiteria Ideal in Buenos Aires, dance two blissful tandas and then part, to head back to their own tango journeys, their own lives, their own blogs... We stepped into each other's tango embrace, our journeys touched and it was perfect. Thank you TP and suerte! SC
ReplyDeleteSally,
ReplyDeleteIt was a special moment. I would always remember our tandas at this old cafeteria La Ideal. After all, it is person whom you dance with, not the place where you dance in that matters.

Such a lovely story. I look forward to meeting both of you someday under similar circumstances.
ReplyDeleteTB,
ReplyDeleteTango works magic and brings people together in an unimaginable way.
One day, we will have a di Sarli.
