Report: the milongas in Paris

They say that August is the best time unlucky for the tango in Paris. Most teachers are not there, you halve the milongas, tango so many are on vacation ...

If this is true, 'who knows' how are the other times then!

Every day we danced in at least three places, on Thursday even seven, five on Saturday! Sites related to the agenda of all events are: www.letempsdutango.com , www.tango-argentin.net .

The environments are quite diverse, we could synthesize them into 3 groups: outdoor milongas, milongas in the schools and milongas history.

The most popular place in summer is the milonga QUAIS DE SEINE (quai St. Bernard - Metro: Jussieu / Gare d'Austerlitz), ie along the Seine . It dancing in a sort odeon of reinforced concrete, with people sitting on the steps. The milonga is run by about 10 years by a Vietnamese tango, and that is also a teacher. To power the plant, has 5 car batteries to ensure sufficient independence from the hours 20 to midnight. The place is clearly very attractive, the lights of the Ile de la Cité offer a warm and soft. Every twenty minutes, then pass a bateau mouche , slows down, turns the lights against the dancers and hear applause coming from the boat ... This milonga is four times a week, from June to September, admission is offered to free, and easy da raggiungere. Il livello però non è molto alto, lo spazio è troppo piccolo, soprattutto perché il giro pista segue una mezza luna e ci si scontra in continuazione… Tuttavia, bisogna andarci!

L’altro posto all’aperto, invece, è il BAL MILONGA DE LA BARONNE (Bassin de la Villette , 45 quai de Seine – Metro: Stalingrad/Jaurèz). Si balla dalle 17 alle 22, su una larga pedana in travi di legno che si affaccia su un bacino di raccolta dell’acqua. Tutt’intorno ci sono alberelli uniti da fili di lampadine colorate. A noi è piaciuto moltissimo, probably because we saw it on a rainy day and cold. Actually the original idea had been to stay at home, because of bad weather. But instead we went on our arrival there were probably 7 couples in all, wrapped in anoraks and totally inspired by the music. We have not even changed his shoes, we started to dance too, and we also continued to rain in the increasingly dense, captured by romantic euphoria and joy. Unfortunately
on almost a month since we were in Paris, 20 were rainy, so we do not know to tell if this milonga is generally more crowded. The musicalizador, however, was very good.

Among the milongas organized by the schools, we were all ' ESPRIT TANGO (3, rue de Vignoles-Metro: Avron / Nation) and the Colectivo (46, rue de Rigoles - Metro: Jourdain). The first place we did not like, very small leaks in the floors are wide and dangerous. The music you hear very little, while you hear the rumble walk, crawl, stumble. At least three times the operator has stopped the milonga dance on the track to ask people not to speak because their voices adorned the volume of the music! Incredible!
We've never been in such a place. There was no not even space to sit, if not in the school. The level of the dancers was low, and they seemed well snob.

It was better to Colectivo , which is run by smart guys and sincerely passionate. The second time we have met many people, then we have reviewed in other places. The place is large and bright, surrounded by sofas and coffee tables. The floor is polished wood (perfect in my opinion) and you can not dance well. We met Alejandro Lucero, who did an internship and a performance right there. The week before was at Verona, and Claudia C. had told him that we were already in Paris, so sent us a message as soon as it arrived. E 'was really good to see you in another context, and we spent the evening joking together. However, we also present in the photo gallery on their website.

There were at least four other milongas organized by schools, and we wanted to see LA CASA DEL TANGO (Buttes Chaumont, 11 Allée Darius), also for their boutique shoes, but between a the other thing we did not succeed, mainly because there was dancing in the afternoon, from 16 to 20, when we were more attracted to roads, buildings and museums in Paris 140 ...

And what about the 400

the parks and gardens? Of the 372 metro stations, some of them beautiful? Or the 1260 bakery - boulangerie? Of the 500 types of cheese? Of the 600 meters square of stained glass windows in Sainte Chapelle?

And here we are yet to milongas that fill our imaginations, and are probably the reason why we would like to return to dance in Paris.

THE LATIN (20, rue de Temple - Metro: Hotel de Ville) is perhaps one of the city's historic milongas. There had been in 2003, when I was in Paris for an exhibition. The place is small, the Latin Quarter, on a cinema. The atmosphere is very nice, the level of the dancers is high, there are many Argentines who are there just to eat or drink with friends. Even the music is not bad, prices Altini.

Finally, we were THE CHANTIER (51, rue Edouard Vaillant - Metro: Croix de Chevaux), which is a bit 'out of Paris, close to the borders of area 2. From Montmartre, it takes about an hour to get there. It is a very special place, it seems set in what could be a neighborhood theater. You enter by passing through the dark room of a private house, behind a curtain opens another room with a wet bar / kitchen where a woman who seems to come from the house of Uncle Tom on the Mississippi faces fill jugs 'water (free), bowls of nuts, and foods of various kinds. It is surrounded by very old appliances, fitted together without any criteria for items with the flavor of Madelaine, that is, family mementos, souvenirs, children's games, favors ... in the middle of the room, there is a huge solid wood table, antique, with two silver candlesticks in the middle. Other tables and chairs to make the frame, and the bottom of this room opens the ballroom, large, wooden floor, ceiling with exposed beams and light bulbs dangling. This is usually the place to come together as dancers Chico Frumboli , Sebastian Arce and Federico R. Moreno . Frederick told us the same as this place is good because it's more of a hangout, where among other things (including ping pong), you can dance ... and dancing from 22 until 6 am. Up to midnight there are the dancers using the space almost like a practice, testing steps, talking, pausing during the dance ... Then there's the "monsters".

Personally, I had never seen so many good dancers together. Often preferred to sit to admire, to look at the incredible variety of steps performed, playing, experimenting, having fun a lot. Great creativity in their tango nuevo. Only a few women are so snobbish attitude, but overall they were all open and available, even to us. At 6 am, while the surviving dancers massaged feet (waiting for the reopening of the subway), or playing ping pong in the garden, I tried to take some pictures, and Maximilian spoke with Nigel, a very good Canadian, the organizer of the milonga wanted to offer us a glass of champagne ...

Santé! A la prochaine fois!
