Feet under pressure

A good weeks dancing this week almost sixty hours of class and milongas. This is the first time my feet felt under pressure. Fortunately they have held out to be put through the same again in the following week. I danced at three milongas I hadn't attended before. Monday afternoon at Confitería Ideal an excellent milonga for milongeuro style Tango, Club Español a terrific setting again focusing on Milonguero style tango finally La Caliseta an outdoor milonga where I had some unsual fun following during a Gotan Project song, quite an experience walking backwards at a rate of knots not having a clue whats behind you. Trust is paramount. Liam and myself have appeared live on National Television Liam doing the talking, me the dancing. I will try to get a copy to bring home but I don't know if I can. The shoes have been fixed and are now doing what they were bought for. I am thinking of getting another pair or two. One could easily develope a shoe fetish out here. I finally picked up a copy of Tigre Viejo the other day. This will be in the playlist for the Feb 14th Valentine's Tango Ball in Dublin the Friday after I return to Ireland. 42 tracks are already earmarked for that night.
