Quote of The Week
"The important aspect of tango is 'the connection'. It is as a metaphor for life: connecting with those friends, connecting you with yourself and connecting to life itself. Tango involves opportunities, surprises, challenges, disappointments, delights and hopes."

Etiquette of The Week
SHOW TANGO Argentine tango is not similar, in any way, shape or form, to "Dancing with the Stars" or "So You Think You Can Dance". Both men and women should respect the dance, the culture, their partner, and other dancers on the floor by dancing Tango in a way that does not hurt yourself, your partner, or others. This means no high flying legs, dramatic dips, or spins.
