A dancer’s steps are stories that the man tells the woman’s body. They
are stories that become autobiographical, maturing over time as the
man’s technique develops.
As in art, tango always speaks to the soul of those that dance it, and
like all art, it transforms everyday life into an extraordinary
... creative work.
The diversity of one’s steps increases the richness of these stories,
provided they are told with the energy, emotion and mystery required of
any good story. A comfortable embrace and a fluid walk will make for an
enjoyable dance. However, there is added value to an enriched
repertoire. A varied menu of steps is a dancer’s hidden treasure. Each
step is a story in itself, much like those of “A Thousand and One
Nights,” unfolding one by one, night after night, into the other’s body
in a conversation that is profoundly intimate.
