Did you know the lyrics of some tangos are as emotionally charged as the music itself?

Often speaking of helpless love, lost youth and times past, tango lyrics are heavy with nostalgia, melancholy and poetry.

Here is a story that many of you will know only too well:

For several months, Student X has been pulling out all the stops to improve his tango.

On beach holidays as a child I would stand at the edge of the sea and watch as the tide washed out around my feet. I loved the feeling of moving backwards when I was actually standing still.

Tango they say is a discipline that you can investigate for the rest of your life. And if you standstill, you get the feeling you’re moving backwards. Just like on the seashore.
