Never done learning

Today was our final tango lesson. Around this time of year, students are accustomed to the last lesson of the quarter being a wrap up, and leaving that class feeling like they are the masters of the subject in which they took the class. This class was the first class where I left feeling like I was about 10 years away from even beginning to be able to call myself a master in the subject of Tango dancing. Although this sensation left me with an empty feeling right after class today, it is also one of my favorite parts of tango. Nobody is ever done learning, tango really is a lifetime struggle. In tango, there is no such thing as perfect, there is no such thing as done, and that is really the beauty of this tricky dance. I will miss coming to class every friday and to be honest still do not know if I will continue dancing the tango in the future, but it has been an absolute pleasure getting my start in such a warm and welcoming atmosphere where 'perfection' was never an expectation during the start of nearly everyones tango journey.
