"Tango Addiction" by Linda Walsh Casas (fragment)

"Argentine Tango is more than a dance or a musical style. Many Tangueros say it is a way of life. It has been called a "secret danced between two people", a "feeling that is danced", and a "walking embrace". It is said that Tango is not in the feet; it is in the heart. It is more about the connection with your partner and the expression of feelings than about choreography.

Although Tango continues to evolve, its essence has not changed after more than a century. The beauty of Tango lies in being totally "present", being completely aware of, and focused on, your partner and the music. Tango is an imporvised dance, and no piece of music is ever danced the same way twice. Each dance is unique. Because neither partner knows exactly what will come next, Tango requires heightened sensitivity to your partner, while still expressing yourself. It can bring out the best in both of you.

Tango dancers will tell you that, once experienced, the magic of Tango is addictive."
