PeekaBoo I see YOU

Gayle and I have decided to share this because it is so lovely - at least the moments you can see. Tiger is still in training and at present just cannot resist entering the forbidden zones - in this case - dancing out of camera range. This was our first public tango exhibition. We are dancing to Alma De Bohemio by Pedro Laurenz. March 21 2008 La Belle Epoque Milonga @ Ukranian Restaurant NYC

Lyrics courtesty of planet-tango.com

Peregrino y soñador,
quiero mi fantasía
y la loca poesía
que hay en mi corazón!
Lleno de amor y de alegría,
volcaré mi pasion.

Siempre sentí
la dulce ilusión
de estar viviendo
mi pasión.

Si es que no vivo lo que sueño
Yo sueño todo lo que canto,
por eso mi encanto
es el amor.
Mi pobre alma de bohemio
quiero acariciar
y como una flor

Y en mis noches de dolor
a hablar
me voy con las estrellas,
y las cosas más bellas
despierto he de soñar.
Porque les confío a ellas
toda mi sed de amar.


Yo busco en los ojos celestes
y en renegridas cabelleras
pasiones sinceras,
dulce emoción.
Y en mi eterna vida errante
llena de ilusión,
yo quiero dar todo
mi corazón.

Traveler and dreamer,
to sing,
I want (to sing) my fantasy
and the mad poetry
that there is in my heart!
Filled with love and joy,
I'll empty out my passion.

I always felt
the sweet illusion
to be living
my passion.

If I don't live what I dream
I dream all that I sing,
that's why my charm
My poor bohemian soul
I want to caress
and like a flower
permeate with perfume.

And in my nights of pain
to speak
I go (to speak) with the stars,
and the most beautiful things
awake, I'm going to dream
Because I trust in them
all my thirst for love.


I look for in the light blue eyes
and in black long hairs;
sincere passions,
sweet emotion.
And in my eternal wandering life
filled with illusion,
I want to give all
my heart.

An additional note: While you are watching the empty stage, take notice of the lovely chandeliers. Although they shed light, they are rooted in "nights of pain". It is rumored they were purchased with gold teeth collected from murdered Jews in Ukranian concentration camps during the Holocaust.

TangoStars Mar/Apr 2008

Feliz Cumpleaños Pisces
You are not prepared for what’s coming – yet you have dreamed and waited your whole life for it. They don’t often play Libertango in the milongas. Yes, it is your freedom being offered. Now is not the time to play the planchadora! Get off the wall and grab the tango that’s meant for you. Continue to dance it outside the milonga for it resonates within your heart and your soul wants to soar with it through all the moments of your life.
Mar 6, 7, 14, 15, 24, 25
Apr 2, 3, 11, 12, 21, 30

Feliz Cumpleaños Aries
The organizers are a breed of their own and you are about to become one or marry into the species. Get ready to go to all the milongas and I mean ALL of them. Of course you will only stay until the announcements and then run to the next. The malevos make you dizzy until the Vernal equinox (Mar 21) and then, their sharpened knives and tongues are no match for your own warlike tactics. Competition is good for you – the fiercer, the better!
Mar 5, 8, 9, 17, 18, 22
Apr 4, 5, 14, 17, 18, 23

Remember the codas in the milonga. No man/no woman belongs to only one. You must share your partners even though this feels as if it will kill you. You must also completely resist killing others and patiently wait your turn. Trust in the prosperity principle and know that there are enough partners in the dance to go around. On a personal note, you can be as possessive as you like with a lover.
Mar 6, 10, 11, 19, 20, 25
Apr 6, 7, 15, 16, 20, 21

Pluto gives you the gift of a glimpse of how fully your life could be lived, and your visage reflects the lightness and elegance of Aroma de Amor, but behind the playful and carefree Biagi vals - a flash in your eyes reveals the underbelly of your emotions and the fear that this newfound happiness will be snatched away. There in your soul lays a dark obsessive side wailing to di Sarli’s Tormenta. How can such pleasure and pain coexist on the same face? Only the twin could dance such a dance.
Mar 9, 12, 13, 21, 22, 31
Apr 8, 9, 17, 18, 23, 24

You and your partner dance an inspired dance and the dream to travel to tango Mecca comes as fierce as a March lion. You must go to Bs As at the top of the month and return at the end all warm and rested like a lamb. Don’t wait until April, as you will be showered with work and family responsibilities that require you to be focused and stay at home.
Mar 14, 15, 23, 24, 29, 30
Apr 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 26

How many times are you going to drag yourself to the same milonga and wait for the same orquesta to play so you can dance with the same tired old one!? Let go of it all and allow yourself to embrace something and someone new. It is time to learn and push the limits of all you know in tango and beyond. Allow yourself to dream a life bigger than the one you presently dance to.
Mar 4, 17, 18, 26, 27, 31
Apr 13, 14, 22, 23, 28, 29

Usually when you fall in love, your tango gets kind of sloppy. Not this time. Saturn in a close embrace with your sign makes you the master of discipline and Pluto’s quick traspie through your house of sex keeps that deep smile fixed on your lips. You’ll play the fool (but flawlessly) as you follow your feelings and your steps will match your heartbeat in perfect time.
Mar 1, 6, 7, 19, 20, 30
Apr 2, 15, 16, 25, 26, 30

Your apartment has been transformed and you feel a deep gratification in all you have creatively accomplished. In April you receive the chance to make the same renovation in your dance. Your new partner will take some work and imagination to transform but once it happens you will CLICK like you’ve never clicked before on the dance floor. Move over Dorothy and surrender those Ruby Slippers, as YOU now own the exclusive rights on the phrase “There’s no place like home.”
Mar 3, 8, 9, 21, 22, 31
Apr 4, 5, 18, 19, 28, 29

Your day job is reminiscent of the music of Florindo Sassone and you wish the dj would pull the plug on all the histrionics! But by night you are transformed into a di Sarli lullaby. It is dreamy as your tango extends way beyond the milonga into the wee hours where romance and good old-fashioned sex keep you up all night. Unfortunately, you still have to get up in the morning and face the drama and Jalousie of your co-workers.
Mar 6, 7, 10, 11, 24, 25
Apr 2, 6, 7, 20, 21, 30

You dream of the Motherland and like all immigrants, you want to recreate the warn feeling of home. Argentine tango suits your soul and like a pied piper you will play a tune so seductive as to lure the children of the milonga away from their regular hang outs and into your new barrio. Aside from being fun, this amusement will also be lucrative. Use your cunning and creativity to pull it off.
Mar 8, 9, 12, 13, 26, 27
Apr 4, 5, 8, 9, 23, 24

The Devil arrives in the seediest of tango clubs and gives you the cabeceo. It is not wise to refuse this personal invitation to dance. The orquesta is not just playing some tango but a milonga candombe. You’d better grab his horns and sige el baile – go on dancing. Get with the earth, down and dirty with the mud. Let the blackness of your heart reveal itself and emerge into the light. El Diablo will show you how to turn your leaden feet into gold.
Mar 1, 2, 10, 28, 29, 30
Apr 6, 7, 11, 12, 25, 26

The orange flower perfumes the air and you follow the scent to find the source of this sweetness. The butterfly lands on the tip of your nose and makes you feel like a clown in a dream. A portal has opened for you to experience the most exquisite tango of your life. To dance it will also bring you unbearable pain. Do not be afraid of this embrace for it will transform your soul.
