"tango is a sensuous undertaking of direct erotic power and great
feeling. Dressing well for it gives it even more of this power because
the elegance of the dress enhances the fires rising from the soul and
the heart.
The fires, as it were, hide themselves within the clothing. They
smolder there. They're fanned by suggestion and nuance. They begin to
appear as the result of the erotic give-and-take between two very
involved dancers, and when the flames finally break out, they are
truly incendiary."
Terrence forgot to mention that "tango was born in the brothels".
Now that's a tradition we really want to nurture.
