Tango

Yesterday I experienced my first (and probably last) Tango lesson. It was thought up by the people I work with as a way of celebrating my new found freedom from study and apparently there have been a series of free lessons over the last couple of weeks.
I enjoy dance and movement and from that point of view I enjoyed the lesson. I had in my mind the thought that lots of older women would have been there so I wasn't prepared for the fact that men out numbered the women and several women had a partner. So that meant dancing with single men- it made me feel like I was "on the pull". So that was an uncomfortable feeling. Then you had to dance together obviously. It was nice but took me out of my comfort zone- not used to having my personal space invaded by a strange man.
I can certainly see that dance like this is a really good way to potentially meet someone if you're single. It's certainly a very social and active way of spending an evening. Unfortunately, the tango lessons proper are on a Monday night and I have football then. I'd prefer to get hacked down by Chrissy and break my fingers in goal anytime- so it looks like that's it for me and tango for the time being. :D
