"The secret of tango is in this moment of improvisation that happens between step and step. It is to make the impossible thing possible: to dance silence." -- Carlos Gavito (1942-2005)
While dancing tango, we create a magical world which exists outside time and space. This world ends as the song ends, and we are left with a memory, a sweet and warm feeling of longing to do it all over again. -- Bobbi Lusic
