More pictures from the fabulous aRealidades show. Tonight we have the last performance and then the workshops and milongas are starting.
Stockholm turns out to be a swell city. It’s green, clean, not too cold, the variety in expresso bars is impressive, but most of all the friendliness of the Swedes is striking. If you’re in need of anything, they help you out in excellent English and otherwise they’ll just start chatting.

DNI Dance Company and Michel Bajuk present the first European performances of aRealidades in Stockholm, Sweden.
aRealidades seeks to explore human instincts in social relations: love, violence, power, creation, acceptance. The choreography tells a story about the world we live in today, about the endless search for balance and hope.
Quinteto Sonor
The performance starts with Quinteto Sonor, a young tango ensemble from Sweden.
After that, the dance begins. Eight dancers from DNI take us along a trip in human relations and strong emotions.

In one week I’ll be leaving for the aRealidades festival in Stockholm, Sweden.
I’ll be taking pictures of the DNI (Dana y Pablo) show, the musical performances of Quinteto Sonor, Electrocutango and Tango For 3 and all the milongas. See you there?
I decided to go to Düsseldorf for the last milonga of Tangocamp 2009. I have very good memories of the Greece edition and I wanted to see a couple of people back. You could see it was the 4th week in a row, the organizers and teachers seemed very happy that their month of excess of tango and lack of sleep was almost finished.
The organizers of Tangocamp, Natalie & Pino, just hours away from the end of an exhausting but very successful Tangocamp.
There were two performances that night too, one by Nancy & Damian and a second by Dana & Pablo. I obviously took pictures.

Tangocamp doesn’t do sissy milongas: they start around 10PM and go on until the birds start singing again. That’s easily 6 to 8 hours of dancing each night, and the floor only get less crowded around 3AM. Here are some pictures of participants.
