Gata am venit!
Cum sa povestesc despre weekendul trecut? Ne-am dus sa predam tango argentinian in Varna – Bulgaria.
Mari emotii ce aveam. Normal la urma urmei.
Nu stiam care e nivelul lor, nu stiam cum o sa ne intelegem cu ei.
Noh…asadar plecaram si am ajuns acolo pe la 12 la pranz. Mancat, plimbat pana la mare impreuna cu Marinella Vladimirova (gazda noastra), facut niste poze ici colo, ras etc.
Corina si-a inmuiat picioarele in apa, ne-am plimbat pe plaja. Frumos.
Este de remarcat faptul ca acolo pana si pescarusii au tatele mari. Eu nu cred ca au auzit de small size la treburile astea.
Ajungem la hotel, trei stele, minunat pentru cei 22 de euro. Inca o data bulgarii ne cam dau clasa la treburile astea cu turismul. Bravo lor!
Hai sa ne ducem si noi la primul curs. Sa ne cunoastem cu oamenii.
Intram in sala, si incep sa curga si ei. Dupa ce ne-a zis Marinella ca toata lumea a ajuns am zis sa incepem nu?
Inainte de plecare l-am rugat pe un prieten de al meu – Plamen- sa imi traduca din engleza in bulgara niste fraze. De introducere.
Nici Corina nu stia treaba asta.
Si am inceput cam asa in engleza: toata lumea stie engleza? Nu? Nu e bai ca pot sa vorbesc in bulgara.

Aparent nu am accent in bulgara si asta i-a cam socat un pic. S-a lasat cu „wow” cu rasete cu aplauze. Milonga s-a tinut in Grand Mall intr-un club dragut. Eu si Corina ne-am distrat ca de obicei, a fost foarte fain. Au un DJ foarte inspirat Ilia.
Si ajungem la lucrurile importante.
Oamenii.
Am intalnit oameni cu diferite nivele de tehnica. Oameni mai emotivi, oameni mai indrazneti. Dar atat de modesti si de cinstiti si de veseli cum rar mi-a fost dat sa vad. Ei cauta bucuria in orice. Iar dorinta lor de a invata nu e umbrita decat poate de faptul ca isi doresc sa stie toate lucrurile ieri! Sunt dornici sa invete, sunt prietenosi si veseli!
Pe drumul de intoarcere am incercat sa gasesc un singur lucru cat de mic care nu mi-a placut in acest weekend.
Nu l-am gasit. Tot weekendul a fost cu rasete, cu zambete si voie buna, cu niste studenti incredibili.
Prima noastra iesire in afara tarii sa predam tango din punctul meu de vedere a fost un real succes.
Tango in Bulgaria
Here we are, back in town!
How can I tell you about our last weekend? We went to teach Argentinean Tango in Varna-Bulgaria. We were so excited and anxious. After all, it was completely understandable. We had no idea about their level and how we would understand each other.
So… we left in the morning and reached Varna around noon. We ate, strolled to the beach, with Marinella Vladimirova (our host), took pictures here and there, had a lot of laughs, etc…
Corina soaked her feet in the sea and then we took a walk on the beach. Really nice. I couldn’t help but notice that even the seagulls had big boobies there. I guess they’ve never heard of small size for this stuff.
We reached the hotel, three stars, actually wonderful for the 22 Euros we paid. Once again, the Bulgarians showed us they really know business when it comes to this tourism stuff. Good for them!
Then, we went to our first class. To meet the people. We entered the room and they started flowing in, too. When Marinella said everybody was present, we said “let’s start”, right?
Before leaving Bucharest, I asked a friend of mine, Plamen, to translate a few English phrases in Bulgarian. For introduction.
Not even Corina had any idea about this move.
So, I started in English like this: Does everybody speak English? No? No problem, I can speak Bulgarian.

Apparently, I managed to speak without any accent in Bulgarian and it kind of shocked them a little bit. A lot of “wows” followed, laughter and applauses. Milonga was held at Grand Mall in a nice dancing club. Corina and I had a lot of fun as usual, and it was really great. They have a very inspired DJ, Ilia.
And now, we get to the important stuff.
The people.
We met people with different technique levels. Some of them were more emotional, some were bolder. Yet, they were so modest, honest and joyful, as I have rarely seen in my entire life. They were trying to find joy in everything. Their wish to learn was perhaps shadowed only by the fact that they wanted to have learned everything yesterday! They were so eager to learn, and so friendly and happy!
On the way back, I kept trying to find one single thing I didn’t enjoy during this weekend. But I couldn’t. The entire weekend was full of laughter, smiles, high spirits and amazing students.
In my opinion, our first tango class abroad was a real success.
ai schimbat fonturile, e mai greu de citit, apare un disconfort si cand treci de la o marime de fonturi la alta (engleza-romana).
era mai odihnitor inainte.
my fifty cents.
da gata am revenit la fonturile normale. Multam!
