Wise words, thewise.

True true... let's hope that the boy becomes a man one day. For the right reasons, I suspect he will. :)

And don't forget every man was once a boy who honed his skill building castles in the sand so that one day when he has to build a real one it would be most perfect and beautiful. more…

ah that's what separates a boy from a man.

The boy just enjoys building sand castles on the beach, building dreams that have no feet. Yet crying rivers of tears that flow into the sea and thus creating higher waves.

The man chooses where to build his castle, not made of sand of course, but on fertile grounds that will be more…

We’re told the characteristics of the cute little boy at the beginning of the poem: innocent, optimistic, determined, anxious, and almost ecstatic. Then we understand how much he devours knowledge, and the tendency to be a womanizer(?). He also shows the keenness to belong to the world, and the aspiration to be an omnipotent.

Hi Lonewolf,
I love your comments and passion for Tango. I am living in Ireland and would love to take classes with Javier. Do you have any details of his European tour for 2010? I would be very appreciative of any information that you have regarding his schedule. I have been finding it very difficult to locate any details on the web.

Such prolific writer you are Isaac! So melancholic....

Cross junctions in life are never easy. Take it as a challenge to move on.

Glad tango is serving you well and now your studies too.

Take care and hope to see you some time.

Besos,

I just came up with this blog... : )

I joined Geraldine y Ezequiel's workshop in HK 2009. They were surprisingly inspiring. The 'one step' they taught is quite an essense of what they wanted us to learn. Ezequiel apologizes to my partner that he can't teach him as I took too long to even trying... and yes, what they taught was quite an more…

Your article has awaken some feeling of sadness inside me... I remembered when I had to say goodbye, but the truth was that I didn't want to do that... and it should have been like that, but sometimes, life can very cruel...

Dear Isaac,

I have always respected and admired a lot Javier Rodriguez as a dancer. After reading about your experience, I really would like to have the opportunity to enjoy a private class with him. How did you manage to get one with him? I would be very greatful if you could give me some information about it.

Kind regard more…

I recently joined a class/workshop taught by Gereldine Rojas and her husband, Ezequiel in Beijing - June 29th, 2009. Yes, they went to Beijing, China to teach! I was so excited since I live in US, and was only in Beijing for a short vacation. I thought the timing was just perfect. However, as much as I heard so much good things about Geraldine and more…

Hi Hongkonger,

Regretfully that you did not have a good experience with Javier's class.

I read through your comments. The point that he arrived late, I cannot comment on that. But very often in an overseas teaching situation, it is the organizers' job to orientate the teacher and bring them to class on time. This is aftera more…

Javier is a good dancer but is not a good teacher. I have experiend his workshop in Hong Kong recently and found him to be arrogant. He arrived late, turned his back on his pupils while they were dancing, left them along without feedback, spent much time fiddling with his ipod/music, insulted Taiwanese dancers, insulted and mimicked beginners in more…

Hi Lonewolf,

Thank you so much for the piece on Javier. He's my favorite leader to watch! And, I agree with you completely that, Javier and Geraldine were the most beautiful tango couple to date.

I live in Chicago, and almost went to HK for Javier&Stella's workshop next week.. Unfortunately I had to cancel the trip as more…

Hi Xavier,

I am not sure about now. But back in those days, the SAF recruitment drive starts during BMT. You can apply for the Local Study Award (LSA) or any awards/ scholarships as long as you fulfil their application criteria.

The application criterion for these awards/ scholarships were often: 1. Academic placement in a more…
