The steps.

Aura Wilming, Just now in part 1 of two to tango I highlighted “let me get you a drink.” Whenever you learn the Argentine tango, you can tell your fellow dancers about a nutty American who watched your video of the Argentine Tango by the two dancers above and when this nutty American was “shadowboxing under the blazing summer sun,” he would take 8–10 seconds to try to move like the male partner in the Argentine Tango. And this nutty American did this little soft singing of Tangled Up and lateral movement and raising his arms just so, he did this 8–10 seconds of tango interlude a total of 21 times in the first 31 minutes of his half-mad blazing sun routine. It was fun and I tried to imagine the male partner’s movements. So the point of this is that now I will apply my process of shadowboxing growth to teaching myself as best I can the movements of the male partner in the Argentine Tango video you sent me. I start off “low and slow.” Tomorrow morning I will take a very long look at one part of the video and try to emulate it in structure. My pace will be crisper because that is how I want to learn. Snap and pop. Eventually someday I will find a partner and she will be surprised at how well a novice knows the movement, structure and timing. It will take me a long time but I will learn it. today I moved in the spirit of the Tangled Up Argentine tango 21 times in short bursts. Tomorrow maybe 24 times trying to emulate 1 or 2 sequences for what, 10–12 seconds. Every day learn and apply more and more. I will be the oddest combination of shadowboxer and one half of the Argentine tango ever. I will do whatever it takes to get stronger and nimbler and more endurance. Whatever it takes. and learn my half of the Argentine tango in the process. All things in the fullness of time. Anything to get stronger and more agile and become a more enduring “me.” Thank you again for the gift of “Tangled Up” and inadvertently setting in motion my plan to learn the tango itself. It will be many weeks before I watch the female partners moves, maybe months ! I gots the time. Thanks Aura Wilming. May I get you a drink!?
