Shall we dance?
Shall we talk!

成人只寄望收穫 情人只聽見承諾
為何都不大懂得努力珍惜對方
螳螂面對蟋蟀 迴響也如同幻覺
Shall we talk? Shall we talk?
就算牙關開始打震 別說謊

Adults only long for results;
Lovers only hear promises.
Why is it that we so often don’t truly understand how to cherish one another?
The praying mantis faces the cricket—
Even the echo feels like an illusion.
Shall we talk? Shall we talk?
Even if our teeth start to chatter,
Don’t lie.

陪我講 陪我講出我們最後何以生疏
誰怕講 誰會可悲得過孤獨探戈
難得 可以同座 何以 要忌諱赤裸
如果心聲真有療效 誰怕暴露更多

Stay with me—
Stay and tell me how we grew distant in the end.
Who’s afraid to speak?
Who could be more sorrowful than a lonely tango?
It’s rare that we get to sit together—
So why shy away from being bare and honest?
If heartfelt words really do heal,
Then who’s afraid of revealing more?

陪我講 陪我親身正視眼淚誰跌得多
無法講 除非彼此已失去了能力觸摸
鈴聲 可以寧靜 難過 卻避不過
如果沉默太沉重 別要輕輕帶過

Stay with me—
Stay and face the tears: who shed more?
We cannot speak—
Unless we’ve already lost the ability to truly touch one another
Ringtones may bring silence,
But sadness—
It cannot be dodged.
If silence grows too heavy,
Don’t brush it off lightly.

如果心聲真有療效
誰怕暴露更多 你別怕我
If heartfelt words really do heal,
Who’s afraid of revealing more?
Please—don’t be afraid of me.

感謝Gigi 親自設計、親選材料、親自剪裁、親筆書寫,用深情款款的筆觸書寫出這探戈人連儂牆,才能把大家不畏懼表達的聲音在Danzstage晚晚掛起。謝謝每一位現場幫忙、每晚花很多時間、很大功夫、小心翼翼安裝拆卸探戈人連儂牆的朋友們!

With heartfelt thanks to Gigi—
for personally designing, handpicking materials, tailoring every detail, and handwriting every word—
pouring deep emotion into crafting this Tango Lennon Wall.
Because of that love,
the voices of those unafraid to express themselves could hang proudly every night during our event at Danzstage.
And thank you to everyone who helped in person on site—
spending hours each night,
putting in immense effort,
and carefully setting up and taking down the Tango Lennon Wall, again and again!

After hearing a number of leaders say “Calestia is just for followers. There is nothing much to learn as a leader”, we feel it’s such a pity that the workshop description thoughtfully drafted by Agnieszka and Tymoteusz has been neglected:
“The Art of Calesita: unlocking possibilities of musical interpretation by leaders with surprising techniques for smooth spiral turns by followers. Development workshop focused on both leaders and followers.”

We would like to emphasise here:
Tymoteusz and Agnieszka’s Art of Calestia is opposite to the conventional idea about granting a follower time/space/permission to do her embellishment where a leader can switch off his brain and take a rest.
Their calestia is a deep dialogue where the boundary of lead and follow is being dissolved into constantly intertwined communication and reciprocally intensified feelings that influence and inspire each other with musical expression. It’s a “hardcore manifestation” of tango as an absolute embodiment of the process of feeling and communicating with each other for joint interpretation.

Everyone talks about tango as a mutual dialogue, but how many teach the mutuality art that breaks through the division of lead and follow?

We wish to spread this standpoint of calestia where both roles enjoy the beauty of reciprocal communication in tango.

Cɪᴀᴏ!Tᴀɴɢᴏ

A very very wise friend who is always in rational pursuit of truth talked about the etymological origin of Ciao;

Then Historian Alfredo talked about the metaphorical origin of Tango ;

Our dear musicians, Jie, Ivo, Angelo and Bobo are talking about naming their ensemble “Ciao!Tango” and debuting at HK Tango Challenge!
All occurring at seemingly random times and places but telling the destined beauty of spontaneity in tango and in life ❤️

Alfredo became obsessed with Tango in Buenos Aires in 2005. Since then he has been a constant part of festivals and marathons (among the most famous and exclusive in Europe and Argentina) without ever getting through a week without dancing.

Alfredo is one of the top collectors of tango music and owns an immense database. Passionate about history, he is also a profound music connoisseur and an expert in the evolution of music and dance through social transformations from the origins to the present day. During his countless travels he met legendary tango historians and artists (from Luis Adolfo Sierra to Eduardo Sibilin, Atilio Stampone, Alberto Podestà and Gavito)

As the musical and artistic consultant for many professional dancers/ event organizers/ Djs, Alfredo created Radio T25 in 2014 : the first European online radio to broadcast 24 hours a day exclusively tango music and programs to spread tango culture. Through this project, he aimed to expand the back then limited number of songs used in milongas, bringing to public attention the unknown or neglected (even by the most famous Djs) orchestras which are absolutely suitable for dancing in milongas.

In 2015, requested by a group of Djs and organizers, Alfredo began to play music, at first rarely, only in friends'events, then eventually ranging from selected marathons and festivals (Bagaria, Wonder Tango Embrace, La Lanterna, Voluntad, Tango Land Fest, Paris Tango Weekend ...) to the best milongas of intimacy, from Buenos Aires (El Motivo) to Paris (Dolce Vita, El Garron, Oh-La-La), from Naples (Mumble Rumble, Salon Baires, TangoBar) to Genoa, Catania, Thessaloniki...

He loves to recall that De Caro conducted his orchestra from 1924 to 1954, which is the base period of reference for Alfredo’s music choice, yet with full possibility to cross these boundaries whenever it is worth it. For Alfredo there is no milonga without D'Arienzo, Troilo, Calò and Laurenz .... and before playing something unknown he always asks himself if it is not better to play another Tanda of Di Sarli. His djing is like the magma of Vesuvius where his passion turns into poetry like magma. The following tango mottos are attributed to Alfredo:

“Tango is by its nature revolutionary: an instant after it was born, it was already changing”

“If you know the rules and their reason, you can change them, otherwise yours will not be revolution but ignorance”

“The milonga is a place of absolute freedom yet no anarchy”

“I do not dance to be alone, but to be with you”

“In tango, as a metaphor and sublimation of life, we seek beauty and harmony: there we all have the opportunity to be elegant without being superficial, charming without being vain, passionate without being vulgar… Let's not waste our opportunity!”
