The Inner Life of Argentine Tango: Argentine tango offers much to love and much to learn. There is the dance itself, all rigor and improvisation. Also the music, the history, the costumes, and the people who keep tango alive. And then there are the true tango lessons, the ones you learn when two people step into one another's personal space, connect at the heart, and together create a spontaneous beauty. This blog is about all of it, but mostly about this: Tango is life.
Everything that has happened is happening still
The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.

What we call imagination is rearrangement of memory
Pay attention to all that goes on around you. Remember, memory is the most important asset to an artist. What we call imagination is rearrangement of memory. You cannot imagine without memory.

Only Connect
What is the essence of tango?
Connection.
With what?
Your body
Your shoes
The floor
The music
Your partner
The room
The gossip
The stories
The history
Argentina, her story
The world, their story
Your history
Your story
Your self
Note to beginners: Begin where you will. It’s a circle.
Imaginative Empathy
"It's transcendence--that's what I'm striving for in all these poems: No matter what the characters go through, no matter what their end, they mean to live."
