While "Naked Tango" was being shown at the Tallahassee Movie
Society theatre, 6 dancers from Gainesville were stranded on the side
of the highway, dealing with a small cascade of automobile
malfunctions. A number of drivers noticed the ladies in
evening dress and stopped on the shoulder of the road to
help us, including a pickup driver from Pensacola, a trucker from
Texas, a sherif on vacation, and Manatee County state trooper by the
name of Old Bill. Bill told Galina that chatting with us was
the most fun thing he had done while on duty in a long time.
The trip had a most enjoyable ending, as the automobile
conspired with our Tallahassee tango dancing friends to create a very
happy twist to our adventure. First, Deborah drove 45 miles to
rescue us. We made it in time for some nice dancing with our
Tallahassee friends at the movie theatre, where
Thuy received great compliments for her dancing, after she
danced with Alberto Paz and Gordon. It turned out
that the night was only getting started. It was continued at
the house of David and Hilda, where we watched 2 wonderful tango
documentary movies, while David raided his pantry and donned his chef's
hat to whip up various delicious anti-pastos.
We spent the night in our friends' guest rooms and re-assembled
the next morning for breakfast. It was decided that in order to
improve life, it helps to have a large group of bantering tango dancers
to take over a restaurant at breakfast time! This is the reason
that many of us are looking for the next opportunity for a similar
Gainesville-Tallahassee "tango exchange." A good number of
Tallahassee folks will come down to Gainesville on the weekend of
September 9th for Jan and Ana's Farewell Party!
By the way, "Naked Tango" is on the shortlist of movies to be
shown at Ruth's TyT Film Salon.
-Sept 09: Jan and Ana's Farewell Party...
Yes it is true: Jan is leaving Gainesville in September. He
will change his status from "our teacher" to that of "TyT #2 itinerant
teacher." It's your loss, Jan!!!
A dozen or so dancers from Tallahassee and Jacksonville combined
insist on participating in the Farewell Party. No time for being
sad: we will give Jan and Ana a good send-off. First we will have
a big party at Thuy's house on Saturday, Sept 09. The second,
FINAL, FINAL stage of the farewell will be a special TyT farewell to
Jan Milonga on Sunday, Sept. 10. Mark your calendars and
stay tuned for details. You don't want to miss this!!!
