And so Nora's Tango Week came to an end last week. As I went to one of the last milongas I went early to be sure I could get a seat. I arrived fifteen minutes before the doors opened and there was already a long line of tangueros in front of me (photo).
Geez, you folks are crazy for your tango.
And then the doors opened, people scrambled to get their seats and before I could even get to mine people were on the dance floor dancing to their first tango.
The performances were awesome and I had many friends there, so it was a great evening. But one of the highlights of the week happened a few hours later when a lovely senior woman walked up to me and asked "Would you be my victim?"
That was one of the best invitations to tango I've ever received. Not that I was the victim, though, as it quickly become obvious that my new friend was an excellent dancer. I felt more like she was my victim. It turns out she's a French artist (a painter) who does oils and exhibits frequently.
You meet the most fascinating people in tango.

Do women typically ask men to tango? Are there unspoken rules to inviting a man to dance? (post idea, hint, hint, :-)
This woman sounds so intriguing! I don't know her, and already I want to sit and have a cup of coffee with her. Thanks for sharing.
