Tango is

Physical contact

Smile like you mean it

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I have no particular care for what other people do on the dance floor, so long as it doesn’t involve bumping into me. But, of late, I have noticed that I really like watching people who smile while they dance. Now I don’t mean the forced rigor mortis grimmace of the ballroom but the genuine smile of the people who take the time to enjoy what they are dancing.
