If you're in NYC on a Saturday and absolutely
must tango, head for Central Park and join
all the other tango-obsessed folks who
gather from 6 to 9 pm by the statue of
Shakespeare near the Literary Walk. Last
week, this was the couple to watch.
(Check out this NY Times video.)

meme. See more of the world here.]
Oh yes, definitely check out the video. This looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteNow, have you tried it, I wonder?
I do love to tango -- or did before my knees checked out. But my daughter has been a tango dancer for many years and it is wonderful! Great post for the day! Enjoy your week!

Thanks so much for that dynamic photo and video. I read Maria Finn’s book so it is nice to have some visuals to flesh out the verbal.
ReplyDeleteI had heard that Argentine male tango dancers can be pretty rough characters, but this guy (at the end of the sentence) is dancing with a stiletto in his hand.
Am going to check the video now. I think the tango is a sexy dance, rose in teeth and all.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I don't think I've ever felt that I absolutely must tango. I'm sure I'm missing out on something.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I am co-ordinated to try tangoing, but I would love to watch.
ReplyDeleteWhat Lesley said!! If I entwined my legs like that I would simply fall over. However, it is such a sexy dance to watch. And when executed well, such a delight. Thank you so much for the post. I am off to France in a few weeks and I am told that in Paris on a Sunday afternoon at the bottom of Rue Mouffetardt there is also dancing. I wait with bated breath ...
ReplyDeleteVioletSky -- It just doesn't look right if you're not wearing HIGH heels. So first I'd need to get a pair—and then learn to simply walk in them before attempting the tango!
ReplyDeleteTG -- I think I pulled something just looking at that!
this is so cool! & I only thought they did this in Italy - & here people are doing it too, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAlexa, I think that the Tango is really hot right now across the globe. I fell in love watching the tango dancers in Buenos Aires. I will track down the dancers in Paris on my next visit!
