Typical as this may seem I may certainly say that tango is one of the things that most entices me about BA. I have danced tango and taught tango in the past and I am beyond excited to see how it differs and the social role it plays within the city. I assume there is a world of tango that I will never see, and I do not expect to. I am not fooled to think that the milongas (tango clubs) that I would find are the real thing. The true heart of tango in BA will be hidden from me I am sure. If this is something that is truly special to the hearts of the porteños, I will never see it. It is their secret and I expect them to keep it. What do I want? What do I expect. I want stories. I want to hear the people talk about their connection with the dance. How the movements are interpreted, and find out what it all means. photo credit click here
We Dance Tango because we have secrets...
