Tango número dos
Second week of tango down and I might be slightly improving. I think this week my leading definitely improved. It's still a bit awkward in half embrace, I think this puts me off balance more than a full embrace would. It also seems that full embrace would make leading with your chest, rather than your arms, easier. I would like to practice more than once a week but right now it just doesn't seem to be happening. I'm going to try to make it to tango club during week four but with the way things have been going I can't really make any promises. Tomorrow's a new day for tango. I'm excited to see what we learn next!

I known I am bit late and so I will try to sum up my overall experiences so far. I have to admit that I am quite intrigued to see the vast global culture tango has created given the intense national drive in received under the Peron era. In fact, reading, watching, and actually experiencing the dance has made me reconsider what dance in general has to offer in explaining the cultures, mindsets, and psychologies of its proprietors and practitioners. While I do admit that the dance is fascinating and am eager to actually try a real dance soon, I am just as excited to see what new facets of the human condition tango culture can reveal. I guess we have seven more weeks to find out.
