Where are we?

MDC with DJ Kitty

Milonga del Corazon is glad to have DJ Kitty in the coming three milongas!

Kitty began her tango journey at the end of 1999 and started
playing music in 2003. She soon developed a serious interest in
the historical and cultural background of tango music. Since
then she became a regular DJ in the HK tango community and played in several milongas in Beijing and Shanghai. For Kitty,
no two milongas are the same. Her DJ preference includes primarily music from the Golden Age and an emphasis on variety, danceability, and sensitivity to the floor energy. She also prefers well structured tandas and cortinas, the latter she believes contributes as much to the mood of a milonga as the tandas. Recently Kitty devotes more of her time in promoting tango music an its culture in the hopes of enriching the tango community. She develops and coordinates the ARTango Cultural Series for TangoTang and occasionally DJs in practicas and milongas.

Who are they? Hung-Yut (Leonel) grew up in Hong Kong but spent most of his adult life in the United States. He met Hwaiy (Florencia) in Korea in 2005, soon thereafter they began their partnership. Together they are very active in promoting Argentine Tango culture in Korea. They regularly teach, perform, and organize milongas in Seoul and other Korean cities. In May 2009 they started organizing the annual Seoul Tango Festival, which attracted over 200 Korean and 70 international dancers.For more information about them and their tango activities, please visit http://www.leoyflor.com/.

Hung-Yut and Hwayi understand the frustration of learning Argentine Tango. There are many great Argentinian masters, their dance is amazing, but they all tell us different things and sometimes they even contradict each other.
Hung-Yut and Hwayi understand because they went through the same process. They took classes from visiting teachers, they practiced in practicas, they watched videos and they stayed up late at night taking about tango with their friends. And like a good number of us, they learned Spanish and went to Buenos Aires multiple times.

Eventually they have arrived at a tango that they can comfortably enjoy with Argentinians and non-Argentinians alike. They have been sharing their experiences with the Korean tango community with success, and they would like to share the same with you.
