Marina Harss: “For many people, including me, the word tango conjures the image of a pantherlike milonguero, hair slicked back, in a breathless embrace with a lithe, rapt partner, skirt slit to her thigh, trembling at his every touch. … But, no surprise, this image has very little to do with the reality of the tango as it is experienced by those who dance it. … Men are dancing with men, women with women; women are leading and men are learning to follow. Often, these roles shift mid-dance.”
