On the first day

It's Wednesday, the third day of Milongueando 2009 in Buenos Aires.

The first day, Monday, was the registration day plus the unforgettable Osvaldo Natucci talking about tango. Osvaldo is this amazingly animated guy, knowledgeable of tango, great DJ and a very special dancer - in my view, known for making loads of tiny steps in sort-of a running fashion.



Osvaldo's talk was superb as always. He loves the music, knows it, and talkes about it in a way that is truly contagious. You just can't help but being involved.

Last year I got his CD set (40 CDs which he uses for DJ-ing). The CDs are masterfully compiled, with the first 20 of a better quality than the second (I believe he did the "clen-up" as well). Highly recommended.

In the evening my friend and I went to Parakultural. Dancing was nice, the floor was crowded at times, but mostly allowed for nice dancing.

The demo dance that evening was totally amazing. The two young dancers, Daniel Tuero and Cecilia Riccinni, were beautiful as people, beautiful to watch, very expressive, technically precise, creative, musical, and were having fun. The choreographies were superb. Great performance. I especially liked their dancing A Everisto Carriego.
