Everyone STILL thinks it is the dance with a rose between your teeth! Exactly! Most people associate tango with ballroom. If they haven't looked into tango by now, then, it's probably still in that same category, to them, even after you meantion it to them and go on about how it is different. I remember that I definitely thought it was "that dance with the rose between your teeth". The only reason I showed up was because it was the only dance class that was starting that week. I was recently seperated and neeeeded to get out there and I found that dance classes were great because you changed partners and met women. I saw tango in the newspaper, said, "Yuk!" to myself and went anyway out of desperation! Here's an idea: Make business cards that have: On one side: URLs of the local sites with the most info. On the other side: URLS to sites that have videos that show easier tango. It is my opinion that showing Show Tango isn't going to attract them ... but, that's just my opinion. I like the idea of putting links to videos where the man and woman are close, the dance is SIMPLE and the woman looks like she is in love. Then, again, that's just the romantic in me. I don't know what would attract other guys. Anyway, maybe, one of the tango societies in a given city that actually has a healthy enough budget could spearhead that kind of effort. _________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Never miss a thing.
