There's a shortcut to redemption I'd like to share. Usually, a bad set of dances comes up when you have too many expectations of your dancer, for instance you want to win the young tango queen over to your following. Maybe she's been distracted, watching someone else, or just self-absorbed, dancing for the entire room but not with you. In such a case, try picking an older, seasoned tanguera for your next tanda before running off to bury yourself for the next couple of months. Chances are, she will reinstall your self-appreciation and redeem your image within a given dance community, besides putting the girl who damaged your self-esteem in her place. Female point of view, but maybe helpful? abrazos, Barbara Allow me a tiny comment. There’s a shortcut to redemption I’d like to share.
