[ Tanguisimo Cultural Talk - "Expelliarmus ignorance! - Tango music for dummies" ]

leader a: Do you want to dance this set?
FOLLOWER B: Pugliese is so heavy, I just want to listen...
FOLLOWER C: Was the previous tanda D'Arienzo's? The crystal clear rhythm was awesome!
LEADER D: That should be Biagi - it sounded more cut; makes me think about several energetic movements.
leader a: (What the...? Ain't these all sounding the same?)
follower e: (OMG... I was just dancing with Leader D and trying to be calm and elegant. Did I do it all wrong?)
leader f: (They even know the spanish names of the orchestras? I'm dreaming, this isn't true~~ @@)

In the discussion above, do you want to be on the CAPITAL LETTERS side?
Not able to know where to begin when dancing to all kinds of music in the milonga?
Afraid of all that spanish names?
Do you feel alone and cold when others talk vividly about music?
DON'T BE AFRAID!!!
