[Tango-L] dancing with a broom

[NANCY]

And brooms are the perfect followers, aren't they? 
They always do exactly what you tell them to do, they
never 'mess up' your timing or your step lengths or
your balance and they never do those annoying
embellishments that thwart your creativity.  They also
show up when you want them and stay in the closet when
you don't feel like dancing with them and they never
have a bad day or the sniffles or get cranky and they
never correct you or complain or try to do something
on their own, for goddesse's sakes .  And you don't
have to talk to them or invite them for coffee or
compliment on their attire or shoes or musicality or
technique.   And they don't have those aggravating
FEELINGS!!!!

 Hmm....they are just like those painter's brushes,
only larger.  Of  course, they don't have a nice case
like a violin.
