Something obvious occurred to me the other day, as I was practicing with Eleanore: Tango can be a kind of flirting.

A good friend of mine presented a workshop recently on the topic of flirting. I'm not so sure that a good definition was really offered, but that wasn't really the point of the workshop. For me, flirting is all about playful invitation.

I have gotten to the point in my dancing where I am just comfortable enough that I can be playful with the many little invitations that are the core of leading. Or at least, I can be playful with Eleanore, whose responses are familiar to me.
