This is very sad. I danced tango in Berlin for the first time in 2001 and it was a milonguero tango heaven. The milonga at the Gruener Salon was almost like being in Buenos Aires. I went again in 2004 and it had changed somewhat, but floor navigation was still reasonably good and there was little nuevo. Thanks for the info. I will cross Berlin off the list for dancing tango in Europe. Ron _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
