June 21, 2010 Groisman's riveting photographs, Tango, Never Before Midnight, documents the mystery of the traditional Argentinean tango balls, milongas, and the people who frequent them, the milongueros.
Groisman adds, "Each night at the milonga is a dramatic cycle in itself, an erotically charged arena where issues of power and gender are played out. Fleeting relationships, alliances, rivalries, jealousies and games of seduction occur, leading to the encounters on the dance floor. These negotiations are carried out through furtive glances and minute gestures, parts of a ritual that can go completely unnoticed by outsiders. At the milonga - a great social equalizer - class, age and physical appearance recede. The dancing is what counts, the body connection, the feeling for the music."
