remember when I frst became interested in the tango: I was thirteen years old and I saw an old movie about Argentina and everyone was dancing the tango. Id never seen anything so powerful in my life, and I knew that I wanted to try it. I talked my mom into letting me take some classes and, when she realized I was serious, she started taking me to classes in the next town. But can you imagine how difficult it would be, being thirteen years old and telling your friends that you're really into tango?
They 'd tease you mercilessly. So it was always a bit of a secret between my mom and me we used to practice together in the kitchen when my dad went out bowling.
