I turn off my brain and turn on my body to be in tune with my leader………..and it has caused me to be complimented by great leaders who have danced for years, stating they thought I had danced Tango much longer than I have! I know the thought that some may be thinking but it is true that your bodies have to be in tune to each other to make the melody sing!

The Milongas in Baltimore are at least a 30-minute drive from where I am and DC takes at least an hour. It’s worth it though because, yes, I am addicted as well.

I haven’t been in a couple weeks because my hip injury is acting up, but I’m venturing out to Philadelphia tomorrow to explore a totally new Milonga! I practice about 3 times a week and trying to get out at least twice a week to dance. Scheduling is always tricky.

No worries Pete. I always get a ride or walk home since all the milongas are very close to me. By the way, where do you dance? How often do you go out to dance? Are you addicted as I am? I am out dancing every night.

@Z,
You should be exempt from all breathalyzer tests on the way home from your dances for the valuable dance experience (service) you provide!

I have been dancing for over 10 years. And my best dances are when I have 2 or 3 glasses of wine. Totally relaxed. Totally centered. Totally grounded. And totally daring.

I wonder if the tango academics who tango with mental-stress instead of their hearts and sexual desires are good lovers?

Elaborate on that, please. I think those who allow a stimulus to go into their heart and through their heart to produce a response usually have fuller lives. Those that keep information circulating in their head could possibly end up as stress-balls that slow down the dance floor (of life).

I start to think ah this feels right I think I’ve got it and then as soon as I think that it all falls apart. Definitely need to learn not to think at all. Great advice, harder said than done.

Would you be offended if some of the ladies in my home town stole your plan? I know I wouldn’t
