Last night I went to my first tango lesson. I´m pretty terrible. I say this with the comfort of knowing that when I started with salsa, I was also pretty terrible. But the tango is not salsa.
I pretty much have to be de-programmed from salsa. The instructor kept telling me to stop moving my hips, and everytime I was at a salsa lesson, they kept telling me to move my hips more. I´m not quite sure how it´s possible to keep your mid-section straight, chin up, but to relax your shoulders. I was a bit tense. But I am very, very determined, and therefore, giving it another go tonight.

Welcome to Tango! For many of us, that first class opened the door to a passion, an obsession, a new way of life, music that is pulled from the very depth of our souls.
I'll be interested to hear if it becomes the same for you!
