Dancing Tango at La Grande Bibliotheque, Montreal

Can you imagine dancing in public where hundreds of students are watching you? That’s what my student Dasha and I did. We went to dance at La Grande Bibliotheque at the exit of Metro Berry.

We wanted to dance at a space bigger than my living room. The choice of La Grand Bibliotheque was very random, it just happened to be there only because I had to return a book.

At the beginning I was self conscious not to disturb the people around us. I was aware that I was using a public space for free and I didn’t want to create any disturbance. We had our headphones on so that no one could hear the music. But later on, my partner Dasha suggested to put the little speaker.

We did!

We increased the volume little by little, after each song, until finally we were able to comfortably hear the music and the pass-byers as well.

At the end of many practice we film ourselves. So we did here as well.

I set up the camera, started the music from the beginning and that’s what you get to see in the video.

If you feel tempted to dance in public, get in touch with us. It’s a frightening experience, but it’s worth you time.
