Someone wrote: "Tango is a dance between two people...Saying that masculine qualities are required to lead in tango reminds me of people in my country who say that only men can be bus drivers...you find out it is about the experience of connecting with a person without uttering a word"
Well, pursuing the sentiment of the above, I guess we could dispense with feminine qualities as well in Tango. Two non-genders dancing and communicating without uttering a word. Any suggestions on what they could be communicating. For some stupid reason, masculine and feminine qualities seem to have attracted each other. Please note I have specifically stated "qualities" rather than gender. Anyone interested in gender roles, may find "The Tao of Tango" by Johanna Siegmann contains some interesting theories. Honestly the ambiguities of Tango drive me to distraction. Maybe it's back to Latin where being a guy is much more acceptable and the dance is much more definable.
