[Tango-L] Tango Theory

I'm writing about Argentine Tango in the United States.

Michael -


I was specifically referring to Argentine tango (in the US.)  


I've done a little bit of Zydeco.  The people I met there were awesome and
welcoming.  I've do fire dance (yep, with burning gasoline) and even though
most of the people in the group are half my age, they have been happy to
have me.  I've done some ballroom, too.  Though I have found them less
inviting that the zydeco and fire community, they are still heads above the
Argentine tango community.


What's up with that?

Dancing brings out whatever you're feeling. It can bring out feelings of
love and acceptance or feelings of control and anger. I guess you can dance
like a Jedi or Darth Vader.

 
The way you behave OFF the dance floor is the way you behave ON the dance
floor. I don't think dancing makes people more arrogant. I think dancing
brings arrogant feelings to the surface and dancers verbally express them.

I haven't posted on these boards in years.  And, it's a rare day when I get
a post from the boards.


I've been dancing tango for 13 years.  I've come to the conclusion that
tango doesn't make people arrogant.  It just seems to be a magnet for
arrogant people.

Anyone else make this observation?
