[Tango-L] Why do I dance close embrace

[Chas Gale]

7. I have a stain on the front of my shirt I don't want anyone to see. 
Between dances I just fold my arms across my chest.

8. I have bad breath and I'd rather breathe over her shoulder than in her 
face.

9. She has bed breath and I'd rather she breathe over my shoulder than in my 
face.

10. I like the taste of hair.

11. My chest is cold.

12. I want to check out and cabaceo other women while dancing.

13. I don't want her to see me wince and roll my eyes when she misses a 
perfectly good lead.

14. I like the feel of implants.

15. I don't have very good balance and it helps if someone is holding me up.

16. I want to look for change on the floor.

17. Because it pisses people off when I say it is the most authentic tango 
embrace.
