Royal Embrace private encuentro

On Thursday we took a bus and went to Richmond, a beautiful suburb of London where Royal Embrace was being held. We checked into our airbnb which was a very cute and spacious room with the bathroom and a kitchenette of a local sweet British couple who befriended us instantly, left us yogurt, fruits, and cookies. 6 min walk to cutest Kew Village and 12 min walk to the encuentro venue. A big win of a booking for Igor!

The next 3 days we only managed to walk and eat in the village in addition to dancing. There were beautiful Kew Gardens nearby but we didn’t make it there. We danced in the Rowing Club room, which has a great floor, high ceiling, and gorgeous terrace overlooking the river. Curiously, it was next to the cemetery and crematorium, which is why all the reviews of the venue were mostly from people who held or attended funerals there. It was nice to bring the lively joy of tango into that space :) We loved the encuentro - great dancing, and they served amazing food for dinner on that terrace.Read more
