Romancing the Bridge

Staged on the Thames, against the backdrop of Winsdor Castle on a balmy summer evening as the sun sets over the river, the Eton Bridge Milonga has got to be one of the most romantic dates on the UK Tango calendar, writes Lee Knights.
      Over a single evening on Saturday 3rd July, Eton Bridge was closed to traffic and turned over to the sensual, sepulcral delights of one of Latin America's most achingly beautiful dances - Argentine Tango.
      Over 100 dancers came to bend cheek to cheek, torso to torso to ocho and gancho in fine style in a most English of English settings, more accustomed to the traditional black tailcoats, waistcoats and pin-striped trousers of Eton.
      For the first time, there was a chance for milongueros (tango dancers) to come from far and wide in the UK to attend the Milonga (simply, a tango event). Hosts Thames Valley Tango's Charles and Sarah Long partnered up with the Christopher Hotel on Eton High Street, to offer dancers a complete package, including afternoon tea, dinner and an overnight stay.
      "There are very few open air tango events in the UK and the setting here is blissful. The Milonga is incredibly romantic - the bridge, the river, the castle, the Windsor and Eton Wheel in the background, what more could you ask? I know from personal experience how romantic it is - I proposed to my wife on the Bridge." said Charles Long.
      For The Christopher's Steven Pritchard, the link up offered dancers an opportunity to make the most of the romance of the Milonga, with no need to rush off at the end of the evening. The Christopher is a listed building, a former coaching inn dating back to 1711, just yards from Eton Bridge. "We're particularly proud of our Moroccan chef, his signature dish is Moroccan lemon chicken tagine and our wine list – we hope this blend of traditional and contemporary will to appeal to dancers."
      For Charles Long, Argentine Tango won him over in a way other dances had not. "I'm a typical English bloke, I got dragged along to classes – but Argentine Tango caught my imagination. When I go made redundant 5 years ago – I was a manager in an insurance with all the usual trappings – desk, secretary and expense account – I set up Thames Valley Tango. This is a passion, not a job."
