Fandango de Tango Looking Back 2

Lesson 2

When a woman dances in such a way that a man is inspired to shower her with gifts, she has hit her stride as a tanguera.

After two lovely tandas at the Thanksgiving Brunch milonga, The Gentleman from Austin took my hand. “I want to give you gifts so you’ll remember my name!” he said urgently.

Cool! I said, or words to that effect.

Four days later, at the last-night’s farewell milonga, he gave me: a Tosca CD and a Got Gancho? T-shirt. And three lovely tandas, politely spaced over the course of the night.

How cool is that?
