Risk

While watching the Insurance episode of Niall Ferguson’s The Ascent of Money it struck me how much there is an element of risk in dancing tango.

You have no idea of your partners qualities or abilities, what steps they do or do not know, where the music will take you or what steps you will do.

It is, in essence, the gamblers perfect dance.

    Interesting thought, Limerick. And yet, it seems the “better” some dancers get, the less risk they are willing to assume :-)
