In fact, I believe that the surprising connections that can take place with new, unknown partners are what make Tango so special for me. It's sad that sometimes we forget how important is to take risks and give people a chance. Just the other day, I had a similar experience--went to a milonga which was poorly attended, and this dancer who I'd never danced with before asked me for a tanda. I said yes, and I was in for a treat... we was fabulous!!!! I wonder how I could have missed him before--he'd never asked me, and I have to say I didn't remember him. I asked him if we attended the same milongas since I didn't recall him. He told me "yes... I'm just a bit low profile". I was speechless about my not remembering him, since he said "I always see you in the milongas" and I responded "OK, now you are making me feel bad". It was true--he was such a nice, subtle, clear, musical dancer, and I had never met him before! Now I want to keep my eyes open to the possibilities... obviously, I don't always open them enough!La Tanguerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02389512869757494450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35414279.post-87974280578731817562008-08-27T16:41:00.000-04:002008-08-27T16:41:00.000-04:00How very nice for you! <BR/>I know quite a few women who wouldn’t even consider dancing with people they don’t know. I‘ve got a friend, she told me once she were too busy to risk wasting her precious time (she dances once or twice a fortnight) on "something that might turn out a disaster".La Tangueritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03101940400279082045noreply@blogger.com
