After eleven years living, dancing, teaching tango, and writing in Buenos Aires, I came home to L.A. in 2014, where I'm reconstructing my life.

Your Chance to Preview and Rate the Preface of My New Memoir, ARABESQUE

I'm asking you for a favor, dear readers. My new memoir, Arabesque: Dancing on the Edge in Los Angeles (a prequel to The Church of Tango), is nearing publication.

The Preface--Wings of Mercury, is available on CreateSpace, for reading, rating, and commenting. It's very short. This is the beginning of the book, and I hope it will make you want to keep reading, so if not, let me know at the bottom where you can answer two short questions about it. Thank you so much in advance for helping me make my story as good as it can be!

Tango Angeles: Tangocherie's Interview on the Only English-Language Tango Radio Program!


Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed by radio host and tango DJ Ronaldo on his ground-breaking live radio broadcast and podcast of Tango Angeles on the Universal Broadcasting Network at the historic Sunset-Gower Studios in Hollywood. In between carefully selected recorded music, I answered questions about visiting Buenos Aires (and my tips for a great tango trip), my personal life journey that I related in my memoir, The Church of Tango, and my own story of Ruben's and my "Love in the Space of a Song," one in a continuing series on the program. There was also time to mention my new memoir due to be released soon, Arabesque: Dancing on the Edge in Los Angeles, as well as discussing the ever-controversial codigos and other tango topics.

It was an honor and a privilege to be on the show, the only English-language radio program, which airs every other week on Wednesdays at 6:00-8:00 p.m. Pacific Time. You can download the free podcasts of previous shows here from.iTunes. In between the chatting, Ronaldo plays some fantastic music and explains interesting points about the piece, orchestra, composer, and/or singer.
