Tango and Zydeco, all under one dome, on the playa?! Someone is so brilliant! This is makin me a HAPPY girl...In 2005, I tangoed on the playa...are you the same crew that brought the floor then? I think maybe not...maybe they were from San Fran. I'm here in Austin, and we actually have a funny little group of us called the "Zydango Gals" b/c we dance both zydeco and tango. I'm glad to hear that there is at least one other Zydango Gal in the world...it's Windy, no? I'm delighted this is happening...I think you'll see me often in camp on the playa. Thanks for dreaming this up and making it a reality!

Way cool... I've found some form of tango on the playa in 2003 & 2004... can't wait to tango some more this year! :o)

I'm in a camp called Havana Room which will have a stage. I am probably going to be around looking for a follow who would like to perform (mostly/perhaps entirely improvised) a few pieces, probably waltzes.
Of course I will come to your dome foremost to dance.
So cool that you are creating a Tango space at Burning Man.
Thanx greatly :-)

Surreal.............I was dressed sort of like Wonder woman in a dust storm at Burningman one day...I was getting pelted with sand so I tucked into this big tent for cover and sat down...it had a hardwood floor and even a chandelier. 2 minutes later a guy came over to me and said, "we need more woman for the lesson" and asked me to join... I was like, "no, no, I dont know the tango, what lesson?". He said, "come on try it", so I did.

3 1/2 hours later I was still dancing!!!! Loved it! IT was so surreal to be learning tango from a topless teacher, with of us all in goggles and breathing respirators, with the wind and sand swirling around, threatening to rip the tent down. When I danced with someone I basically had no idea what the person I was dancing with looked like, because your both so covered in dusty facial gear . Both my dancing partners were avid tango dancers, so I got quite an education and a huge advantage to learning quickly. One dude was from Heebee Geebee Camp. I cant seem to remember his name........ I thank him from the very bottom of my heart, for scooping me up, encouraging me to try and for his abundance of patience. The other partner was this guy, Matteus from Switzerland. Wish I could find him again. I really, really enjoyed dancing with him. Such a romantic dance. Tough not to swoon when the connection is there. Loved it. So long story short, when I got home to LA from the burn...I googled Tango lessons. My first Tango class was yesterday! Any LA Tango dancing get togethers???
Loved it, loved it, loved it!
