Tango with Jonas & Xiaomin

Tango with Jonas & Xiaomin
Our memory fades overtime but some things stick no Our memory fades overtime but some things stick no matter what. I don't remember how I got this or who recorded it, but this 💎 resurfaced after ~6 years – lovely memory of dancing with a new friend visiting from Europe at a cozy house party hosted by an amazing host, filled with laughter, chatter & good food, in the heart of San Francisco. Years have gone by, and we've all gone through so much – heartbreak, friendship, marriage, parenthood, career change, building life in a new continent... But we connected - and we still are - because of this universal language of Tango, in one way or another. Take good care of yourself and each other, my friend, wherever you are – and I don't mean just geographically 😉 – captured by the camera or not, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts. ♥️ #argentinetango #tangoargentino #dancingislife #ThrowbackThursday #memories

As the Lunar New Year ushered into the Year of the As the Lunar New Year ushered into the Year of the Tiger, a Chinese zodiac animal that embodies courage and bravery, we look forward to a year of hope & possibilities, and many refreshingly good changes. 7am tennis at Rose Garden followed by an impromptu tango was one of them (with guest intro by a neighborhood squirrel).😄 籍辞旧迎新之际，祝各位小伙伴们五福临门，岁岁平安，生龙活虎，吉祥安康 🐯☀️🎉🎁🧧🧨🎇🎊 . . . #tangoargentino #argentinetango #improvisation #bailar #happylunarnewyear #yearoftiger2022 #danceanywhere #dancingislife #jxtango

Two weeks ago, we got stranded in DC after Tango H Two weeks ago, we got stranded in DC after Tango Holiday marathon because of a snow storm. We made it back home to California safe & sound two days later, and our life has returned its normal rythm since.
