Wonderful photography. It's one of the photographer's aptly-named Best Tango Shots So Far pool.

A Time To Tango: A Play For Two People

I stumbled across this (old) post by a blogger calling himself Single Christian Man:

perceiving the partner’s mood and skill level and, and on the spot, improvising steps and movements that not only fit the two of you, but that fit the music in the air. That last sentence is the draw of tango, writ small. In that regard, this pageant, this drama, this …. play for two people, is very much like that artist who made a stain into something beautiful.

The whole piece is a very thoughtful meditation on tango and relationships, that contrasts somewhat sharply with the link i posted yesterday. The one thing I've noticed in my year or so of irregular tango blogging is that more and more interesting material about the dance is appearing in people's general life blogs, as well as the specialist tango blogs. It make researching posts for F&F ever more interesting. It might even get me posting more often. :)

Tango: The Lonely Hours

I really enjoyed this account on Tango Hours of the blogger's visit to a big event:

I walked in and my heart sank immediately. I saw what looked like a very exclusive SFTX event; the people there were clearly in bonding groove and I felt like an outsider. I hung back and hesitated for a full five minutes before I decided to fork over the $5 and stay.

Does it end well? Go and find out…

 Part of a great set of photos you can see on Flickr.

Now moved to Picasa.

Italian Tango Digg?

This is weird: Tango Diggs.

It appears to be an Italian Digg-style site where readers can vote for their favourite tango news.

Carnal Knowledge, Tango, and Politics…?

Media Lizzie meditates on how tango, are shown in two familiar films, might give us insights into politics and relationships.
