T-A-N-G-O


I admit, I like ALL types of dancing! Pretty much any song with bass and a beat tend to get me moving, especially when I'm driving or trying on new purchases at home to add to my wardrobe. My parents most likely conceived me to Jazz, so it makes sense that I am an old soul in appreciating the classic Standards. Gospel music provided a more tame way to groove in worship at church. I have had a fondness toward the Country and Hip-hop sounds of my youth. College introduced me to more cultures, so my involvement in Polynesian dance, Flamenco, and an occasional Bollywood effort surfaced. Currently, I lean toward the normal "street versions" of ballroom dances like Salsa, Swing, and Blues. It's safe to say that I am an avid fan of dance reality shows with So You Think You Can Dance, Rock the Reception, and Dancing with the Stars at the top of my list.

One thing is for certain though - I am saving Tango for marriage. It's not just the music and the moves that are alluring, I just think my partner should probably be the man I will be legally bound to. Per chance feelings that are brought up on the dance floor can be dealt with in-person, at home, later. Forever and always. For 50+ years at least.

Here are choreographed Tango examples to prove my case:

Can I hear an 'Amen' from my fellow singletons? Yes, I hear you!
