Tango in Crofton with Luciano Brigante y Alejandra Orozco

Luciano y Alejandra dancing a Valse and a Tango....
Intensive Tango workshops right here on Vancouver Island. Maestro Luciano, a native of Buenos Aires, and his partner Alejandra, citizens of Mexico, gave twelve lessons on Vancouver Island. Luciano is a 'sub-campeon', meaning: second place in the World Championship of Tango in 2004, held in Buenos Aires August every year.
Of course, a Milonga with a Special Performance of the teachers, is a fitting finale to studying and studying and studying more. On 8th September, right here in little Crofton (a small village and ferry stop to Saltspring Island) dancers from Vancouver Island congregated for the last work shop and then danced the evening away...yes, evening, being Canucks, the idea of dancing until the small hours of the morning is somewhat strange to us. By ten at night the Islanders drifted back to their abodes.
