Quote of The Week

hacemos entre figura y figura..."

(To dance is not to do figure after figure... The dance is what we do in between figures...)

- Jose "El Turco" Brahemcha

Etiquette of The Week

DANCE FLOOR REAL ESTATE  If you are not dancing, show respect to those who are by not walking through the busy dance floor. Stay clear of the dance space - do not stand in the dance lanes to talk and walk around the perimeter of the floor to get where you are going. First priority goes to the dance and the dancers.

Perhaps this post at "In Search of Tango" is somewhat pessimistic on its views of where Tango is heading, however it does remind us of what to look for in dancers of Argentine Tango.

Etiquette of The Week

DON'T APOLOGIZE  Tango is found in the music, the embrace, and the walk. It is also found in the imperfections. There is no need to continuously apologize to your partner if you make mistakes. Besides, it's not always easy to know which of you actually made the mistake ;)
