Hi , First post.

I often marvel at the fact that a high level government employee , medical 
doctor or artist allow themselves to be pushed around by a gardener or motor 
mechanic or housecleaner on the dancefloor, but then "tango" doesnt equate 
very well with status in real life.

For the record I am a semi retired security consultant and have heaps of 
time to attend milongas.  The tanguerra friend that sticks in my mind as the 
most passionate and elegant that i spend time with listed her occupation as 
"exotic dancer and personal escort".  She was rather busy during most 
evenings so we danced only in the afternoon in her kitchen.
Tango, scones and tea.
Heaven!
