Case in point: I will never forget watching Cecilia Gonzales turn down a verbal invitation to dance. She looked the guy square in the eyes, had a huge gracious smile on her face, a friendly twinkle in her eye, and said "no thank you" . I had the feeling that he walked away thinking, "Cecilia gave me such a warm smile!" :-) Megan Pingree _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
