June kicks off with the lovely and talented Eleonora Kalganova. There are 5 Thursdays in June so we have 5 great events planned for your dancing pleasure, and lessons for improvement. Look at the flyers and read the details about these events in this newsletter. Please come and support your tango community.

I had a perfect Tango recently, which made my week. So, what was it about this Tango that made it a perfect tango for me?  It does not require two dancers that have all the tango skills mastered. I am not a perfect dancer and the follower I danced with had been dancing only one year. What made it perfect was the little things that are in our control. We had both taken great care to dress attractively. My cabaceo was acknowledged with a bright smile. We had a short conversation waiting for the tango music to begin and we wrapped up that conversation during the introductory phrases of the music. The embrace was close enough to feel the partners breathing, and after some dancing took place and the heart beat grew strong enough to also feel that through the embrace. Our attention was totally focused on the moment – neither of us was looking around to see who was there or watch their footwork. There was no discussion during the dancing. When our legs or feet bumped or our execution did not work out as envisioned, we recovered and Tangoed on, avoiding breaking the moment by saying the habitual “sorry”. Note that all these little things are under your personal control. Of course, it takes two to Tango, so you can only take responsibility for your own part. I share these thoughts with the hope that you will think about what are the little things that make a Tango perfect for yourself, and also with the hope that you will be aware in your next Tangos to notice these little things. I wish you many perfect Tangos. I would really like to hear from you about what makes a perfect Tango for you. Please respond and share your thoughts with me. Dennis
