Re: [TANGO-L] Reluctance to dance milonga: sadness

[Lois Donnay <donnay @DONNAY.NET>]

One of the most important things that I learned about the Argentinean
culture is their ability to feel all of their emotions openly and
without guilt, and without working at it. They are so open to let one
emotion go to let the other one in. Go watch Carlos Sauros "Tango"
again.

I believe that understanding this one basic element of the Argentinean
personality is what started me on the path to understanding this dance.

Alex,

Your sadness sounded quite depressing.
Strange as it might sound not everything what is cliche is wrong or
trite for that matter. Even if it makes me somewhat upset that thousands
(millions?) people discovered tango sensuality before me I enjoy it
foremost and nevertheless each time I encounter it with a new partner.
Oops, have another aspirin.

Cheers, Oleh K.
