First of all, happy 25 de Mayo. I don’t know much Argentine history but Mi Amor is changing that and I’m having a wonderful time learning.
Back to the milonga. Argentines took over Il Bistro last night and good times were had. The floor there is a little tough to dance on as it’s a restaurant, but Evan was completely on with his music. I chose to wear what I’ve named my “Tigress” shoes from Comme il Faut. I must say it feels good to be relatively walking distance from the milongas again. Because of this, I arrived with much enthusiasm.
Since I normally get distracted by the floor at this place, I decided to remember something Caroline at Tangospeak did. I told myself to “Relax and wait”, and thus was able to allow my heart to open to the dance without worrying too much about the quality of the pista. I was able to connect with someone that I’ve never been able to connect with before, and when dancing with people I always dance well with, the connections were that much stronger. My tango heart is happy.

Relax and wait. The most important lesson I’ve ever learned in tango and like you, allowed me to forge stronger connections as well. Happy tango-ing!
