Dear organizers and community

Perseverance in collective work allows us to celebrate a new. We obtained the commitment of the Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires that they will approve the protocols for holding milongas in closed spaces in the week of 13

We celebrate solidarity, empathy, care, and the collective that made us “pause” on March 11, 2020, and now allows us to return with approved protocols and official authorization. More than ever, this horizon of hugs will bid farewell to the pandemic.


This is such exciting news. I look forward to letting you know that TANGO is back in Buenos Aires, but with the new protocols, which I am sure will include vaccinated people only, wearing masks while dancing.

I chose tango as my dance because I love the lifestyle, embrace, and, yes, dressing up. In my tango series, I share images shot worldwide, in the places where I have danced: Spain, France, Germany Turkey,Canada,Italy Greece, and the USA, but mostly in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With my written stories, I try to share some of the experiences that have stayed with me... An amazing embrace, a beautiful meal, a slightly uncomfortable life moment at a stay a train station or airport. These are the moments we remember. As to my personal info, I was born in New Jersey eventually, after living in New York, Boston, and San Francisco, most recently on San Juan Island in Washington state, I moved to Buenos Aires in January 2020. For 38 years, years I curated a contemporary art gallery, where I refined my skills and became a visual editor. Always with a camera or some picture-capturing device in tow [including much heavy equipment], I started my travel at approximately the same time, was introduced to tango about 12 years ago. VIsual storytelling begins with a moment. Some internal mechanism is triggered by a scene or event or movement and ...there's your photo. Other times, it’s about a sliver of color or something else odd or ordinary that captures the eye. As I am now fluent in Spanish, it is my desire that my stories and photos reach the broader tango community and other travelers. Travelingtango offers translations into Spanish, Italian, and German. Abrazo!!!
