| 3 August, Centennial Square in Victoria. Latin music, a few Latin themed concession tents, City of Victoria licenced bar and empanada tent, and a couple of make shift dance floors and a stage. With a benevolent sun warming up the scene, what better thing to do but dance Tango. A few representatives of our local talent put on demonstrations for an interested and appreciative audience, whilst the usual suspects (tangueros) are waiting in the wings to have a go at dancing themselves. |
 |
| Of course, nothing would work without the right shoes.... |
 |
| Representatives from Dance Calgary giving a demonstration of Tango Nuevo |
 |
| Crafts from various South American countries are offered for sale, as well as painting of -what else - Tango and Flamenco scenes |
 |
| A few audience members seemed somewhat unimpressed, but were definitely dressed and made up to impress |
 |
| For a few spectators - memories of home |
 |
| Old and young enjoyed the sun, the music, the performances and the dancing |
 |
| Photographers had a field day |
 |
| Victoria City Hall towered over the 'fiesta' |
 |
| Tango images on Victoria Centennial Square... |
 |
| A taste of South America, however, the liquid refreshments were from right next door - Island Pale Ale.... |
 |
| The music plays, and everyone who knows a little bit about tango hits the floor |
 |
| An elegant demonstration of salon tango |
 |
| One heard almost as much Spanish as English amongst the participants of the Fiesta. |
