~* Tango *~

One day, a friend of mine listed things she'd want to do in this life - her dreams, basically. And suddenly I realized just how fortunate I really am. I'd done or experienced more or less everything in her top ten. This is not to say that I no longer have things to dream of... OhNoNo. With this appetite for life, I'll probably stay busy for the next fifty years or so. For example, one little dream that still remains to be fulfilled is learning to dance the Tango. Argentinian, preferably.

I adore Al Pacino's comment on the clip: "There are no mistakes in tango, darling. Not like life." A friend of mine who really knows Argentinian tango describes it as an artform. The beauty of it, according to her, is that the man improvises the dance as he goes along. So the woman learns to read his next moves from his eyes and gestures, and reacts to them simultaneously. Sounds intense. Beautiful. Powerful. ...And more than a little bit tricky. Well... The best things rarely are the easiest... Right? ~*♥*~
