The Academia looks like a typical old Greek house
from the outside but is 100% Argentinean inside. |
 |
My friends Sophia and Panos teach
private tango lessons in Athens. |
 |
Sophia showed me her incredible new tango
shoes from Buenos Aires. |
 |
| Oh, no! We missed the green suede! |
 |
The building was at one time housing a large family
that had no idea what will become of their
house 100 plus years after it was built,
The corridor is a good place for watching the dancers
in the dance hall that is on the door to the left. |
 |
| The dance hall is small but cozy. |
 |
| The floor helps to keep the line of dance! |
 |
| These whimsical curtains lead to the parlor. |
 |
| Where you can catch the latest gossip. |
 |
| There is small but fully equipped bar. |
 |
However, the best hang out of the Academia
is the balcony in the back, The view is amazing. |
 |
From most places in Athens you can see the
Acropolis.
All the lighting was redone for the Olympics. |
 |
The balcony is the best place for
a conversation and for
smoking.
Luis will tell you his latest stories from Argentina.
The milongas end when the last dancer
runs out of cigarettes. |
