A Swiss tour

The first week in Bergun is over, thank you Jelena & Dominik and Gustavo & Giselle Anne!!! We had a wonderful milonga last Saturday in SouSol and AMAZING classes by GyG on Sunday. On Monday we started teaching our own classes, inspired by the great maestros. Check our teaching schedule in Switzerland in our personal calendar or www.tangotanz.ch!

Yesterday we had the chance to visit Fribourg, walk in the old part of town, and in the evening we went to dance in Basel. The milonga Poema was in a beautiful house, the music was lovely, and we had some great dances! Hope to visit the Basel tango scene again! Now we are back in Zurich, and it is raining... We had planned to go to Lausanne today, but decided instead to sleep in, go shopping and visit a museum, so off we go!

Tango moments in Bergun

Ooh, we having so much fun at the seminario of Gustavo Naveira and Gisele Ann! I have been leading, and Pasi has been a good follower, back-leading me only in extreme difficulties... Some sequences have been a little bit complicated, but as Pasi picks up the sequences very easily, together we are doing great!


The milongas have been really nice, with good dancers and good music, traditional and alternative. Pasi was dj'ing the first night, but very soon he lost his place to Gustavo, who got very excited about his music collection, and happily played until the small hours! I played music the next night and got to keep my place until the last song!

Tonight we are going to Schlitteln!!!!!
