Rachel and Marc: dance portraits

Rachel and Marc are a couple I’ve known for years through modern jive dancing and now continuing through tango. They live a few hours outside London, but usually visit London for a monthly tango get-together and travel throughout the country teaching blues-style modern jive, DJing and dancing.

On one of their last trips to London, we did some studio portraits. This is how elegant they can look, in ‘dance mode’.

And this is how I usually see them – having a laugh together – when they aren’t being mobbed by other dancers wanting to take them onto the floor.

River Tango

River Tango festival has just been in London, with lots of free events in front of the Tate Modern over the weekend. It seems that loads of the people attending were from out of town (based on an unscientific poll from a friend who went to many of the events and found most of his partners were visiting London).

I went to part of yesterday afternoon’s events for an hour or so as well as a look at the Tate’s Cy Twombly exhibition, before the weekend caught up with me and I needed to go home.

Here is my polling, smiling friend David, in front of the Millennium Bridge.

A demonstration from David Benitez and Kim Schwartz.

And friends from South London Tango, who looked blissful as they danced.

Monty’s wedding tango

My tango teacher Claire Loewe is marrying her partner Monty next weekend, so they had their ‘first dance’ at tonight’s Tango South London’s monthly milonga, along with champagne and cake. Their expressions pretty much say it all.
