Casablanca Movie Night...the tango version...

Café Casablanca, the usual Friday night hang out for Milongueros of Victoria and points north on Vancouver Island, hosted a special evening instead of the regular weekly Milonga treat. This time, a milonga honoring the world famous movie (maybe the best movie of all times) 'Casablanca' with Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart.
No Bogies or Ingrids on the floor, but our local tango 'stars' dressed for the most part in black and white to emulate the actors of the movie. A certain air of elegance prevailed....
A wine and beer license (procured for the special day from the BC Liquor Commission) allowed for libations for a 'here's looking at you kid' toast. Snacks kept the energy level in high gear...and the dancers tangoed petty well until the last of the Cumparsitas faded out.
As time goes by.....
