Blog Post of The Week

Tango on My Mind talks about giving all you've got to your Tango - dance with confidence, without hesitation, and with gusto.

Quote of The Week

"To dance well, we must listen well, and if we're talking, then we're at most, only half listening. The music deserves more than that - or why dance?"

Etiquette of The Week

TALKING WHILE DANCING Men, you already have enough things to think about while dancing Tango such as leading, floor navigation, and taking care of the woman you are dancing with. This means you do not have the capacity to add talking to the list. Women, your role is to follow and give yourself to the man. Talking will make this task all but impossible. Aside from these points, the essence of Tango is found in the music. If you are talking over the music, you are ignoring the main component of the dance.
