Etiquette of The Week

RESPECT Men: dancing Tango is not the time to disrespect women (in fact it is an opportunity for you to show great respect for women and to take care of them). Keep your hips back, hold her firmly, but gently, and behave like a gentleman. Women: If at any time you feel uncomfortable while dancing with a man, say thank you (to signal you are finished dancing with that person) and walk away.
