At all the Encuentros/Festivalitos there will be some heavenly Tandas for sure!<br /><br />And... I am proud AND sad at the same time to say that: circa 80% of the men with whom I experience Tango heaven are students of ours.<br /><br />Good night.<br /><br /><br />Melina Sedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727388535288424558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183577605666117106.post-9239848718109599612013-05-26T21:48:08.542+02:002013-05-26T21:48:08.542+02:00This is a very useful post.
