Milonga at the mercury

I usually attend the Mercury Cafe for other events. It was great to come in to the Minlonga it really made me love the place more each time. The milonga itself was such a cool thing to watch. Although the majority of the folks there were older than most of us in class there were surprisingly a quite a bit of young folks dancing that night. I had predicted me and who ever else from the class went would be the only young people around but I was wrong. i noticed that all of the older men in the rooms were great dancers though. It seemed as though tango was in their bones, they moved with such patience and determination. The people seemed pretty nice  and welcoming. I felt comfortable being there, I just wished I would have been a little more comfortable and actually danced. I really enjoyed how the alternative music was put in between tandas. It was really cool listening to these modern songs and seeing how tango could easily be incorporated. It seems as thou all that really matters is finding the tango rhythm in every song.
