We’ve been on quite a journey since opening our new tango space in May. Selecting our smooth wooden floor, installing a professional sound system and our wall-to-wall mirrors. It all took time and patience.

But now it’s time for the finishing touches. Details that are so important to ensuring …

It was our first time performing since the Pandemic. We weren’t sure what to expect. Outdoor events are amazing but even in London summertime they are a risky business and yes, rain had been forecast.

It has been so long since we last performed that as I got my show dresses down from a box at the top of my wardrobe, I had almost forgotten how to prepare for a show. What actually did I need? Hairspray. Check. Hair grips. Check. Fishnets. Check.

A good dance floor is so important when we dance tango.  A slippery floor can hinder our movements just as much as a floor which is difficult to slide on. It can be the make and break of a good tango night.

David and I had this in the forefont of our minds back in February when we were planning our new studio.

We wanted a floor like some of our favourite milongas and studio in London. But we had a problem.
