[Tango-L] Men P.S.

[Derik Rawson]

Dear Dani:

In Houston, Texas, fortunately we have a large
international community of people who have already
learned to dance Argentine tango in their home
countries or in Argentina...not the USA, so in this
town, tango it is not so bad.  The US American girls
are outnumbered at most tango events.  The oil
business has attracted people from all over the world
to live and work here.

Just this last Wednesday at Salento Cafe I met and
danced with a beautiful girl from Istanbul, Turkey,
who is a mechanical engineer and an auditor.  She is
going to Kazakhstan to build the new pipeline to
China.  She and I danced to a nuevo tango music CD and
to an Argentine tango CD and we had we a blast.  Good
dancers are hard to find, but we do have a lot of them
here.  Strangely enough Houston has become a tango
crossroads.  You would not think so, but it is.

PS-  The leggy Italian girl from Rome, Italy is  still
here as well, working on her graduate degree, and her
tango.  Life is good.
