Subject: Tango in "Alice et Martin"
Juliette Binoche's latest movie, "Alice et Martin," was released in
November in France. She is a violinist in a Argentine tango band, &
she dances the tango with her boyfriend. I've been looking forward
to this film, but so far I haven't seen any mention of it in the
US. Does anyone know if it has been (or will be) released here?

P.S. The directors name is Andre Techine, with accents over the
letter E's. How is his name pronounced?

Hi Barbara,
there is a web site about Albuquerque:

If you are looking for tango anywhere in the world, you
could try my "Tango Geography" pages, with links to
tango sites, sorted by countries:

Subject: Alfredo DeAngelis
Alfredo DeAngelis is orchestra whose music I have come to appreciate
for dancing tango as well as vals.
Some of my favorite DeAngelis tangos are:
Pura Mana
Compradon
El Entrerriano
Adios Marinero
El Pial
Para Que Te Quiero Tanto
Pavadita
Some of my favorite DeAngelis valses are:
Pobre Flor
Flores de Alma
I have two CDs of his recordings: Adios Marinero (El Bandoneon) and
From Argentina to the World (EMI).
Does anyone have any recommendations for other DeAngelis CDs or
recordings that are wonderful for dancing?

Subject: Kyoto tango?
My trip to Japan is back on this year: I'll be in Kyoto, Tokyo, & a few
smaller cities between April 2 & 22. Does anyone know of any tango in
Japan, or have any emailable contacts who might? Please reply off-list.
Domo arigato,

Subject: Montreal tango scene
There've been a few things on the list about Montreal lately, & I've been
meaning to contribute. (I especially wanted to counteract the negative
response by one woman some time ago about dancers there.) I was there for 10
days last July for the workshop Daniel Trenner put on in conjunction with the
local Montreal teachers.
THE MONTREAL TANGO SCENE: The quantity & quality of dancing in Montreal are
both wonderful. People were extremely friendly, & men were open to women
asking them to dance -- in fact, I wished I'd gotten up my nerve sooner! I
would enthusiastically recommend anyone to visit the city, & to try out its
several (!!) dedicated tango clubs.
THE WORKSHOP: Overall, it was *terrific*. (So good, in fact, I haven't danced
since, but that's another story....) Particular pros: Long enough to really
get into it, a full 8 days of classes (none of this 5-day "week"). Emphasis
(like all Trenner workshops) on partnering & exercises that REALLY help one's
understanding of the ways two bodies can communicate & move together in the
shape of a tango -- stuff we ALL should work on (especially those "advanced"
dancers who think they don't need it!). Great line-up of teachers (my
favorite: the fabulous Briggite Winkler -- those of you in Colorado, go to
her workshops Tom Stermitz just announced, you won't regret it!)
Cons: too hot -- Montreal in July is sticky & muggy -- it seemed obvious that
this was the wrong month to put on this event in this city, but they're doing
it again this year. Too crowded: the numbers of bodies in studios sometimes
made it hard to adequately see & take part (partly because teachers were
unwilling to kick some students they should have down from the crowded Level
II to the empty Level I). No practice space! -- This was a biggie when people
are absorbing so much; enough people complained that I'm sure it's been
addressed (though I don't actually know what changes have been made for this
year's workshop).
Hope this is useful to anyone considering a visit there or this year's
workshop.
Kate :)

I am glad Pedro is not one of the judges because he has completely
misinterpreted the Bottomers' comments. Clearly, BLACK clothing is
the appropritate criterion for judging. But the Bottomers'
irresponsible publication of this criterion will make the situation
most difficult for the judges because everyone will wear black. The
most obvious solution is to evaluate the blackness of everyone's
clothing under different colored lights to determine which clothing
are the most black. To keep an element of surprise, the color of the
lights should not be revealed to the contestants in advance. ;-)

Why didn't our French or European Tango-L members tell us about this
