Friendship - More complex than I Understood

Studying at the Schemel Forum at the U of Scranton this February gets mixed in with our tango.
The quote, by C.S Lewis in our ridiculously-expensive-course-book again makes me think of the dance.
Describing the difference between eros and philias:
"Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other.; ARGENTINE TANGO
Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest." AMERICAN TANGO
Now which one would you choose?

FARLEY's on Heart Day

"Tango Romantica" at Farley's with more than 36 on the floor enjoying the lesson by Donna C and Cathie J. The boleo led to the leg wrap which we had learned before, but found easier and lovelier this time. Mike looks like a sultry Gavito and the evening just felt so Argentine.
Donna C. dragged 6 friends from her ballroom class and a couple wandered in from Tampa. They found our site on the internet and called here last week to confirm the time. They love the Dandi in San Telmo where they stayed on their first trip to BA. Who wouldn't love the Dandi? I find it hard to believe a tango craze is taking hold in Scranton. Matt bought red roses for the women and Mike gave Hershey kisses in pink and red to each table. We are so in love with tango I don't know what to say. Thank you all for the support and for just showing up.
