[Tango-L] Fw: Social-ethical behaviours and protocols

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Oh, come on.  Chasing the opposite sex is what gave popularity to the tango in the first place.  I seriously doubt that the first milongueros were thinking about "art" as they were practicing with each other.  

I asked a man the other night what got him into tango (I had assumed it was through salsa.  He replied that he hadn't danced anything before (including salsa) and that a girl asked him if he was interested in learning.  He thought he could learn few moves and impress her.  She's gone, but he's continued and become a popular leader.  There are countless stories along those lines.

People take up all sorts of hobbies hoping to meet people and find love.  Some find it.  What's wrong with that?
