Limerick Tango

One of the nice aspects of tango and tango events is that it can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age. I’ve been at events where I’ve danced with a legend of tango¹ and where fathers dance with their young daughters balanced on top of their feet. But that is the cauldron of tango where we are all set to rise and fall in our turn.

In contrast I was at a suburban party at the weekend that made me feel my age. An enjoyable party but with a far narrower age range, I don’t think it helped that I spotted someone plugging in a baby monitor, and shockingly suburban. Either way I felt the cold chill of the eternal footman at the door once or twice.

All this will pass but there will always be seat next to the dancefloor.

¹ Admittedly it did feel like dancing with my mother.
