Four years in a row (with a 2yr pandemic break) we Four years in a row (with a 2yr pandemic break) we danced into the new year at Tango Holiday in DC. Only this time it was so much more than just a tango marathon...

🔸Performing emergency surgery on @ayano.yoneda.tango 's keyboard (too bad, failed attempt lol).
🔸Joining @tangonnection and the whole of Spain for their NYE grape eating traditon during the countdown via a video call in the car;
🔸 Getting stuck in the mud and the dark when it was raining cats & dogs, but luckily, AAA sent help within half hour so we still made it to join our friends for our hot pot dinner!
🔸My parents Facetimed me from China while the actual new year's countdown was happening at East Coast's time zone, so I was able to show them a bit of the dancing and festivities at the marathon.
🔸Oh, those literally all-night-long conversations after dancing that deepened our connections!
🔸We even went sightseeing at Great Falls on the 1st day of 2023!

继续着每年用探戈和吃火锅打开新年新篇章的传统,体验和收获种种,探马活动的几天就像浓缩版人生:电脑坏了-修,车陷进泥坑了-叫拖车,聊开了-彻夜深谈,爸妈挂念-视频,跳腻了-游山玩水……仔细想想,跟我爸从小就示范贯彻的处世态度挺一致的,“兵来将挡 水来土掩”,没什么是过不去。

愿各位所得皆所期,所失亦无碍,平安健康,国泰民安,少纠结,多反思,认真过好每一天。
Happy New Year's Eve! 🎊🥂 We made more time f Happy New Year's Eve! 🎊🥂 We made more time for tango while keeping our day time professions that supports this passion of ours - back to tango travels, more teaching locally, and unintentionally, I even DJed a couple times. Let’s see what 2023 has in store for us!

马上就要跨年了,免不了俗的过电影般迅速回顾今年。工作比以前更忙,不过团队争气加上换了个更人性化的老板,赚钱养家不埋怨的同时,继续支持探戈这个烧钱的爱好。世界翻覆, 生命无常,让我们活到老跳到老!
Perks of being on the same schedule as the DJ Jona Perks of being on the same schedule as the DJ Jonas:
✨ First to show up - prime parking spot & selfie in natural day light;
✨ Last to leave - group photo w/ the rest of SF crew;
✨ Photo opps galore!

Miraculously, this time our traveling experience was very smooth – no flight cancellation or delay, we even landed 20min early! 🙌

During Xiaomin’s graduate school days, walking t During Xiaomin’s graduate school days, walking through @nickelsarcade was a nice quick distraction because this 261-foot-long corridor houses some of Ann Arbor’s oldest specialty retail shops (since 1918!). She couldn’t afford to buy a thing with a nickel back then. Many years later, we can at least afford a dance on the mosaic-tiled floor.🤪
