Are we mentally ill?
Why we are doing this to us? Instead of staying home, relax after a long work day, why we end up going to milongas or practicas and sacrifice our sleep and energy....
Do we enjoy? Maybe?... most of the time....
Do we suffer even more because we want to get better everyday? For sure....
Are we even patient? NO
I don't believe you have to be a really good dancer in order to talk about tango...Everybody's experience and point of view is different.....Everybody has a different value
Some people want to teach,some would like to perform, some want to dj, some want to touch another gender (or the same) because they have no one to touch, some people want to make money, some people find the happiness that they are missing in their lives (or they never had...)
Interestingly enough, the way you get into it, the more it gets harder...when you dance for couple months, you think that you are doing everything right, and then you realize later that you were doing everything wrong couple months ago...
you realize that she or he is not the best dancer for you anymore
Couple months ago, you enjoyed dancing with her/him, but now you don't even make an eye contact....
Some people are loosing the glamour of it, and they dance because they are addicted...it is like smoking because you have to rather than you want to...
Have you ever said that "I wouldn't even talk or even be in the same room with that guy/girl if he or she wasn't a great dancer? Be honest... It is the power of Tango, it is the love of Tango
It is all over the place....
It is overwhelming....
What is this....?
It is a complicated life style like Vladi says.....It is Tango...Argentine One...

VLADIMIR ESTRIN....
TANGO IS MORE THAN JUST A DANCE
It comes into your life as a simple interest, develops into a nice hobby, slowly grows into an obsession… and gradually becomes your lifestyle…
Tango is not just a combination of pretty steps… it is a bouquet of human emotions - passion, anger, happiness, desire, lust, jealousy, love… interpreted uniquely by each individual person… and expressed on the dance floor…
Our vocabulary is rather limited… there is only so much that you can say in words… You can write pages and pages of romantic letters to the woman that you love, and still have a hard time expressing your true feelings… but a single touch, a sole motion on the dance floor can let her know so much in a single moment! Tango allows you to communicate your feelings and emotions much stronger… you are happy - you dance one way… you are sad or angry - you dance another way! The steps and moves that seem to be the same will come out differently depending on how you feel at that particular moment, what music you are dancing to, and who you are dancing with… Precisely because of that no Tango is ever the same! Every dance is always unique… it is pure improvisation! You may know the steps in your head… but your heart tells you where to move.
Tango brings together people from all walks of life… and erases their differences! It does not matter how old you are… it does not matter who you are or what you do for a living… all that matters is that you want to dance… When You are on the dance floor… nothing else exists around you… You surrender to the music and let it move you… it gets deep inside your heart and your soul, engulfs you completely… captivates you…
Tango is not just a dance… it is a lifestyle… it is distinctive, timeless and everlasting… It spans through decades, continents, nations and people! Tango is a unique culture, rich with history, thrilling and controversial, passionate and mysterious… And with every single song, with every single dance it draws you to it stronger and stronger and makes you want to be part of it more and more…

Seremet n.trv: To dance in a cool rhythmic manner, usually with an attractive female in close proximity.... Eric Dandridge
One of the most honest things you can possibly do in your life. Tango doesn't lie, or pretend to be someone else... Tango is communicating with the other person when you are dancing....
Be yourself, believe in yourself and make things happen, are the most crucial sentences in my life....tango does it all....
Tango makes me think, makes spend more time with myself, and shows me how to be more patient with my self....
I am a tango student, who doesn't have any ego. Everybody is welcome to challenge my ego in tango because I have none. I believe that everybody can learn something from someone with respect. I believe in commenting (if requested) and not teaching at all times..I just can't stand people commenting other people's dances in milongas or correcting them while they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Usually, people who correct others are the worst dancers but they don't accept the fact that they shouldn't started dancing at the first place...
ANYWAYS
For now, I am mentally ill with tango, becuase tango is the only thing that makes me happy....I love tango and I advice everybody to love it....
Loving tango is really powerful..and, it helps when you meet someone.... so you can judge your own feelings...if your love your sweetheart is greater than your love to tango, the person might be right one.....The love of Tango is so powerful and can provide a guy how to be a jerk or a gentleman...
Antipanico is making me write, Tango Magic made me to listen to the melody.... God knows what BsAs will make me do....
