The slightest misdemeanour and the moment is killed.
"Shut up and dance."
Your partner needs noise-free clarity - before he can even begin to diffuse himself into you, your body, the music, the floor. Talking to him will kill it for him, no matter how beautiful your verses.
If you find yourself jibber jabbering - you have to ask yourself some serious questions. Are you really ready for tango, with real milongueros? Have you understood that's its not about getting round the room doing moves, nor the number of dances you get? Do you understand that the path to tango oblivion is sacred, but treacherous, to be embarked upon in silence? Is tango even really for you? Have you understood that you've probably ruined someone's tanda?
"The path to tango oblivion is sacred, but treacherous,to be embarked upon in silence."
The men too. In the moment of passion you wouldn't start yapping about the weather - so don't do it with tango.
