Laura presenterar sig själv så här:

I discovered tango by accident in the autumn of 2004. I had gone to a cafe at the Multicultural House and ran into a friend...she excitedly told me I had just missed a tango lesson and I must come next week and try it. I stayed that evening to watch for the first time what I later learned was called a milonga. I thought it made all of the women beautiful and the men sexy! And so I went the next week, and the week after that, and the week after that...

Tango is becoming more popular in Iceland. There is a website at http://www.tango.is with information about events and courses. There is the Tango on Iceland festival in September. I wish there were more single dancers here though. It is mostly married couples. update July 2007 There is another Icelandic website with tango events now: http://tangoadventure.com Tango Adventure and now the Tango Club are both offering courses and events for singles, so the scene is picking up!

In addition to tango, I enjoy photography and have a photo website at www.lavatop.com . update May 2009 I have finally created a tango photo section on my website. You can see the tango photos here: http://lavatop.com/tango/index.html .
