Michael -
I was specifically referring to Argentine tango (in the US.) I've done a little bit of Zydeco. The people I met there were awesome and welcoming. I've do fire dance (yep, with burning gasoline) and even though most of the people in the group are half my age, they have been happy to have me. I've done some ballroom, too. Though I have found them less inviting that the zydeco and fire community, they are still heads above the Argentine tango community. What's up with that? -----Original Message----- From: Michael <tangoman...@optimum.net> To: tango-l <tango-l@mit.edu> Sent: Sun, Sep 25, 2016 10:12 am Subject: Re: [Tango-L] Tango Theory Dancing brings out whatever you're feeling. It can bring out feelings of love and acceptance or feelings of control and anger. I guess you can dance like a Jedi or Darth Vader. The way you behave OFF the dance floor is the way you behave ON the dance floor. I don't think dancing makes people more arrogant. I think dancing brings arrogant feelings to the surface and dancers verbally express them.

And, it's a rare day when I get a post from the boards. I've been dancing tango for 13 years. I've come to the conclusion that tango doesn't make people arrogant. It just seems to be a magnet for arrogant people. Anyone else make this observation? _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list <mailto:Tango-L@mit.edu> Tango-L@mit.edu <http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l> http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
