There is an amazingly active Argentinian tango scene in Reykjavík. Its apparently just like walking and certainly easy to get started with, though I´d say you need to keep practising to be any good. Well, in an attempt to meet people I started going to tango nights at
Alþjóðahús, the Intercultural Centre in Reykajvík and met friendly people, and then joined classes ran by Kathrin, where I met my boyfriend, Óli.
We have kept dancing ever since and have taken classes at
Kramhúsið with Hany and Brýndis. Regular dances, called Milongas, are held at a number of halls in town and a festival in September and they are such fun to get dressed up and dance, especially in the winter when it is dark and snowy outside but warm, romantic and elegant inside.
