| Luciano Brigante, professional Tango teacher, born in Buenos Aires and living in Mexico City, demonstrating technique to a student. The weather Gods were friendly for this outdoor event in a sea side park in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island - sunshine, great view of the sea, temperatures 'just right'. About thirty dancers from up and down Vancouver Island, as well as Saltspring Island, learned and practiced for almost four hours on the concrete floor of the park's gazebo, nick-named 'Glorieta North' after a well known venue in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, where each Saturday Tango aficionados dance in their gazebo named Glorieta. |

| Look Ma, no hands. Leading the female partner with body language and a 'state of mind', versus heavy duty arm wrestling. Luciano's partner in teaching - and life - is Alejandra Orozco, a Mexican National. |
 |
| A little socializing with a light dinner bridges the time between classes and the Milonga at the Globe Hotel, a historic building on Nanaimo's water front. |

| Oh, to be young and beautiful... |

| Another workshop - different teachers, different couples, different pupils, different venue in Koksila near Duncan, Vancouver Island. Here is young Harry, rescued from death row in a dog rescue centre in New York, actively studying 'obedience and acceptable social behavior', which he obviously - despite being definitely cute - had no reason to learn in his earlier dog teenage years. |
 |
| Look Ma - no hands. A successful moment, where surrounding distractions did not keep Harry from staying put. |
 |
| The usual suspects, bipeds and quadrupeds - all in a row - concentrating on obedience lessons. |
 |
| "I am not sure about this - paying attention towards my handler is really an inconvenience to my free range disposition, I'd rather bark at anything that moves and sink my little sharp canines into unsuspecting wild rabbits." Well, maybe Harry rather studies how to Tango.... |
