In dieser kleinen informellen Umfrage werden die verschiedenen individuellen Perspektiven des „Milonga-Raums“ beleuchtet. Da nicht alle der Befragten Deutsch sprechen werden die Fragen auf englisch gestellt.
Jens and I share a long tango history – and love for neo tango music – he became a regular DJ at Nou Charlottenburg in 2007, and while my DJ career faded he keeps spreading his tunes.
#08 JENS STULLER (Berlin)
1. Why do you go to a Milonga?
For having a nice dancing connection with a new or already known dancing partner.
2. In short, what are the three most important factors for a good Milonga?
Good and enough dancing partners, energetic music that I love, good dancefloor in a nice surrounding.
3. How do you define „good Milonga“?
If there is a nice flow on the dancefloor where everyone is integrated and partners are changed.
4. In short, what are the three things that you do not want to experience at a Milonga?
A dancing partner explaining me, what or how I have to lead, an elbow in my back and not respecting other couples space, not getting a connection to the dancing partner.
5. How do you choose who you dance with at a Milonga?
Very spontaneously. Eye contact and nodding or asking to dance after smalltalk. I’m often asked by followers and nearly never reject.
6. What are your thoughts on open role dancing at a Milonga?
I love open role dancing, because it leaves more room for creativity.
7. Do you have a most beautiful memory of a Milonga?
Yes, very long ago in old Tangoloft between 2 and 4pm, when there were only about ten couples left. I felt a wonderful connection with my dancing partner, the music and the other couples.
8. How do you see your role at a Milonga?
Having fun and spreading fun.
Jens dances Tango since 1996, both roles since 2011, and inspires dancers as a tango dj since 2005.
