Milonga

Tango dance photography made with drone in a “Milonga” in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This fine art aerial photography and other urban landscapes are printed on large size Hahnemühle high quality paper. All my artworks come with certificate of authenticity.

It is impossible to think of Buenos Aires without thinking of Tango. Far from being a dance that is exhausted in its own generation, it is kept alive also among many young people who decide to learn to dance it.
There are many places in Buenos Aires where professional dancers, apprentices and curious people meet to dance Tango. These places are known as “Milonga”.

There are traditional Milongas, in specific neighborhoods, where only those who dance very well, and do not want to share the dance floor with any beginner, usually gather.

But there are also less hidden spaces, more open to all those who are taking their first steps in this sensual and intimate dance.
Those who are not dancing wait at the side of the dance floor. They study movements, and wait anxiously to be invited by another to dance the next piece.

Generally, in Tango, it is the woman who must let herself be led by the movements of the man. There is no previous choreography. Everything is subtlety and spontaneous creation. An embrace of great intimacy between two strangers.
