T for Tango

Tango-ish. Ignorant dilettante with a flair of musicality.

[T for Tango @TangoIngenue]

There’s no death in tango.
No farewells.
People just disappear.
Thank you, ignorance.

I recently came across compliments that made me feel worse than when I was given a tango lesson in a milonga.

I guess, these were not compliments but self-praise of the compliment-giver for being so generous.

Words are really not primary.

I couldn't stop reading 'Why Tango' by V. Toumanova, and when I did in a matter of hours, I longed for more.

The latest dream involved a man shouting: 'Disassociate!'

There really are no advanced techniques. There are only basic techniques done at an advanced level. #tango #argentinetango #thetandalife

It was never a good idea attending a milonga (esp. a new one) on the Eve of Brexit.

I only hope (as an immigrant already) that my double nostalgia and melancholy will eventually transcend into a better tango experience.

When there is so much passion and one person’s body can’t contain it.

Visited Museo del Baile Flamenco in Sevilla, Spain and got infected.

Been reading a lot on tango etiquette. Lost sleep.

There are times when I reject my own tango invitations.

I’m glad I was turned down in milongas before. I’m now growing the courage and assertiveness to do so myself without being afraid what others think. Awfully difficult but makes for a joyful milonga.

NATO alphabet. Contribution to ‘tango’ since 1951.

Is it rude to ask one to be polite to others?

A milonga crash is useful in noting reaction/its absence of all involved.

The aftermath may have more weight in deciding if to dance with the involved ones in the future.

Sometimes I have an uncontrollable urge to cabeceo unaware strangers on the streets, which results in WTF miradas.
