Hi Cherie, Here's another story, I was standing in the milonga at a festival and one of the top professional dancers was giving me a neck massage. I had just had a conversation with a woman about how aggressive the women dancers were. How they would interrupt a conversation to drag a man away to dance. Then, out of nowhere, the SAME woman came up to me and grabbed my masseur for a dance!!!
This North American woman and her North American husband now teach tango in Buenos Aires! Can you believe it?
