Project NFT Neolonga

Our last event was even numbered and included a couple of leaders we had not seen in years, which was a lovely surprise 😀. In the past, for at least several years over running Project NFT since December 2010, we wrote many tango/dance related articles to accompany our emailed notice (you can find the majority of them if you scroll back on this Facebook page). So much so that by the time I resumed solo after the lockdowns, every topic we could think of had already been covered and due to time constraints an article became a rare occurrence. At our last event I was tango talking to one of the gents I hadn't seen for the longest time and told him that my favourite tango move was the volcada, because it feels so delicious and gooey how the free leg releases on the first part of the move. Then we are off axis and the free leg is totally at the mercy of the leader whilst the follower waits for the lead for the retraction of that leg. A triple volcada sends me to ecstasy. I love the off-axis moves, which to me adds an interesting dynamic to the tango move repertoire and can emphasise certain parts of the music beautifully. When I asked him what his favourite tango move was, he paused to ponder his answer. Which leads me to ask all of you what is your favourite tango move and why? Hopefully some of you will email me your answer - [email protected], and if I get enough responses I will write them up next time. Our DJ this Sunday is DJ Bella. Project NFT runs on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month starting at 7.30pm, and is $20 (cash only). Our next events are: Sunday 1st September - this Sunday Sunday 15th September Sunday 6th October Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
