a sweaty tango

Went to the weekly milonga in Taipei. It's a new space, just over a year old. Last year in March when I went, this new space had not yet opened.

I didn't meet any of the dancers I had met last year. I probably wouldn't have recognized them anyway. But I met a few more. Cory, who's an account for Deloitte, working in Hsinchu. Jean, who's teaching at the American school in Taichung. The level of the dancers in Taiwan are intermediate. And everyone seems to be at approximately the same level. So, while I didn't meet any great dancers, I also didn't have issues with any bad followers either.

YuanYuan, a tiny cute dancer with a happy persona, does this double-step/kick on a forward ocho. Has a nice flair to it.
