๐ŸคŸ 3 days ago we celebrated our 3rd wedding anni ๐ŸคŸ 3 days ago we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary by doing what we love the most - teaching & dancing milonga! ๐Ÿฅณ Finishing our last class of the 3-week Milonga series at @abrazoqueertango with an improvised role-switching demo performance was truly special! โ™ฅ๏ธ Every time when someone outside of our tango circles ask us "how did you two meet?", we always say "we met on the dance floor". What we often don't have the right moment to share is, it's nothing like those love-at-first-sight drama scenes. Life is like tango off the dance floor. There are blissful rondas and there are challenging ones. We've walked some miles, and yet it's still just early in a life-long journey. ยกVรกmonos! ๐ŸŽฅ Jessie S. ๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ž by @touchlinetango & @tangolerashoes . . . #happyanniversary #doingwhatwelove #tango #bailar #partnerinlife #followme

Tango is a dance of walking, and we love the introductory classes because we want to help our students walk their first a few tango steps with warm feelings, and carry that with them as they continue the learning journey on their own terms. #keepdancing #neverstoplearning #tangolesson #itsjustthebeginning

That was the rhythm we had last weekend thanks to @noras_tango_week . @jonas.aqui had a blast DJing the Afternoon Milonga on Saturday โ€“ it was so lovely to see our friends connect & watch them dance, even a baby tanguera was on the floor! We also got to study with @maja_marko_tango again after 4 years, learned from @inesmuzzopappa & @gabymatalovely for the first time, danced & caught up with old friends & made new ones, awestruck & inspired by maestros' performances, witnessed the historical moment of Nora passing the torch to the next generation (huge congrats @tanguera_e & Ramada!), enjoyed live tango music by @pabloestigarribiaok, Seth Asarnow & @jazzgirltt @voice.declassified, watched documentary films, recharged with yummy treats from @formosachocolates & @woodentablebaking, and shared snippets of the 4-day long event & our โ™ฅ๏ธ for #tango through the lens of @sflovestango.
