In the February 2007 edition of Marie Claire there is an article on tango in Buenos Aires written by Melissa Fagan. The front paragraph says ‘Once a year, the residents of Buenos Aires dedicate themselves to the rhythm of the world’s sexiest dance’ – I’m not sure what they think happens the rest of the year?! But then there is this: ‘If your partner is any good, if there is any kind of connection, then you fall in love with him. That love may only last as long as the tango, but it is love all the same.’ Maybe we can ask Imogen, Dru or Kellie to write something of their own experiences when they return (ok or Andrew and Roger!)?? Many thanks to Marilyn S for passing on the article.

Good find. Be interested to see the article… I may have to pester some of the Marie Claire readers in my office as it isn’t available online.
I am keen to read about the journey to BsAs from a woman’s perspective — previous visitors from Australia… anyone? :)
Addressing Meg’s last point, more than likely, Kellie and I will be maintaining an online web site of our experiences in South America (7th Mar to 14th April). If anyone is curious let me know and I’ll alert you when it is live.

Let me get this right, you hold a women in a semi intimate embrace,
move around the floor to passionate music, we stop occasionally and she rubs her leg up and down mine and finally, as the music ends, I hold her in a very suggestive pose.
Naw; cant possible be any sense of romance.
Seriously I have, as one who has been to the top of mount lofty, had a sense of what it would be ike to climb Everest. As yet I need to keep “tangoing” to get closer to that feeling. I am working my way up Mount Cook at the moment.

Clive James on tango, talking about Robert Duvall (who made ‘Assasination Tango’):
[...]I was fascinated by his dedication, I knew exactly what was going through his head. He was ready to destroy his entire life and career just to dance well with that girl. That’s what drives you in the tango: you fall in love with someone and you want to dance with her and you can’t and it kills you. And then the second stage of death, when you’re already dead, you die again when she accepts an invitation from the maestro and goes dancing off with him and you see the way it should be done, that’s the killer.
