Even though I am one of the lucky ones to have my very own very excellent tango partner, I have never seen tango as a couples’ activity. It’s a social activity. We dance it in couples, but we share it with all our tango friends.

I am all for dancing with beginners, giving newcomers a chance and finding the positive in every dancer. But I lose patience with leaders who think they are better than they are just because they have a decade or more under their belts.
