The best pictures of dancers-in-theme will be put in a Facebook album per evening so you can all vote for the SALON QUEEN & KING. The winners get full milonga passes for the next edition of the BTF!

Brussels Tango Festival: Thursday - presentation of the maestros

The Brussels Tango Festival 2010 has now officially started! Yesterday the charming venue named the “Maison des Cultures et de la Cohésion Sociale de Molenbeek-Saint-Jean” welcomes the festival guests for the first evening of dancing and mingling.

Brussels Tango Festival: Thursday milonga

As always, it was a mix of familiar and new faces, people getting acquainted with new partners, chatting in a multitude of languages, trying to remember names and nationalities.

This is also the evening where we see the maestros of the festival dancing together. Here they are:

Monday milonga: Bains::Connective

(via milonga.be)

The last chance to dance at the festival, and with the visiting maestros, was at the swimming-pool-converted-to-milonga Les Bains. Less crowded than the other days, the dance-floor allowed a pleasant dancing experience and made people forget about their sore feet and lack of sleep. A nice end of an excellent festival!

Sunday milonga: Vaudeville

(via milonga.be)

On Sunday all the festival participants with any life left in their feet gathered at the Theatre de Vaudeville for the much anticipated Surprise & Impro evening. The maestros were put in a circle and the audience got to pick and choose the couples. Some of the performances were closer to theatre than dancing but the crowd was positively amused. These are the combinations that came up:

After that, DJ Tomasso continued with the excellent music, and the several thousands of dancers kept on dancing on the 4m² floor, or at least that’s how it felt.
