Musings: You've fallen in love with tango. Now you need to make a commitment to it. Commitment to something gives you your identity, and gives you a sense of purpose. In order to make your love work, you need to love it enough to build a structure of behavior around it - just in case your love falters. If you truly are in love with something, then of course you want to rise to the occasion. A structure of commitment to tango includes:1. group lessons 2. private lessons 3. practice and 4. milongas. You cannot truly get anywhere without a commitment which includes all of these things. Then you will truly deserve your love, and best of all, tango will love you back.
