About this design
Some years ago, I went to see a show called `Tango Por Dos`. Here the women were gorgeous and the men danced like men. (no mincy ballroom dancers here). This is a difficult dance to learn and even more so to master, as I have discovered over the last 6 or 7 years. There is a real machismo to the dance, which is fun and to a certain extent needed, as the man has to choreograph the dance on the fly, guide his partner (anti-clockwise) around the dance floor, interpret the music and maintain a strong frame. The woman, who, it`s granted, dance backwards for the most part, should be able to close her eyes and feel as if she is the only one on the dance floor. This is difficult for the man to perfect, requiring many years of devotion. It is generally accepted that a woman can hold her own within 4-6 months (so long as she learns to be led). While 2-3 years is required for a man to master the basics. While this is not a dance for the faint-hearted, it is worth every frustrating and stumbling moments that will beset you.
