Tango in BA
Tango is the soundtrack to Buenos Aires – whether it’s old school tango dancing in the streets, or the sounds of pop/rock songs that have been tango-ized, tango is everywhere. At once both seductive and aggressive, watching a couple tango is mesmerizing.
And so, of course, we took on the brave (and looking back, perhaps stupid) challenge of learning to tango. We won’t lie – it wasn’t pretty. And don’t even ask Brendan to recount Mel’s attempts at the backwards through the legs kick – those memories hurt too much (and so does the victim of that the kick).
Lesson learned: Mel, Brendan and the rest of humankind would really benefit from Brel sticking to salsa and meringue. Really. It wasn’t pretty.
