“Shouldn’t Argentinians win every year?”

Clearly the way that contest should go.

If you have missed a Tango show in Buenos Aires, you have not lived!

I was able to see three shows and they were great.

A Steak barbecue dinner and free flowing wine accompany the music and the dancers’ sexy moves. Fun, for sure!

The woman is wearing a sequined executioners mask.

Too black, too blank, her head disappears against her partners jacket.

A dance with death, he dies at the end

That’s very nice of you to sat. It’s a dancing competition, not a beauty pageant.

The acceptance of men in dance such as this and DWTS is a reason we see male cheerleaders who dance. The next idea for dance team choreographers is to have male-female ballroom duets during time outs.

What will happen when the guy and gal do ballroom duets together instead of doing women’s hip hop?
