Yesterday was a good day for tango. In the morning (briiiiight and early) I did a tango photoshoot with Max Johnson (a great photographer). We ended up mostly on the Stanford campus. There were tons of good shots, so it was hard to choose, but here are two:
Heather and I’s feet. (Do you like my lovely new burgundy shoes?)
Tolga and I, posing.
I’ll probably post more later.
Sunday evening we went to Brad’s tango house party. It was the most fun dancing environment I’ve been in for a while. I am trying to figure out precisely what made it so great — perhaps it was that everyone really wanted to be there, and seemed relaxed and agenda-less? Maybe it was just Brad’s enthusiasm caught by everyone else? Whatever caused the mood, it was great. In Project Learn to Lead (PLtL) news, I lead a tanda with a follow who I’ve never danced with before, and it felt like it was actually dance! I need to practice my lead more… trying to decide the best classes to take for that.

Oh, wow! I know Heather, too - I was just looking at the set of photos from this shoot. Very nice!
I also love house parties. They are some of the most relaxed, fun atmospheres for dancing, in my experience.

Your burgundy shoes are, indeed, spectacular. And the photos are amazing!

Don’t remember posing, just waiting for the door to open.
