So I was dancing "La Cumparsita" at the Tango Bar, for the first time in ages...
(Incidentally, it felt nice to be able to dance it; I like the arrangement the DJ there plays, so I like to stay and listen, but I always feel a little sad if I can't dance to it.)
...with a partner that I've been dancing really well with lately, which was an extra pleasure. Of the many lovely moments in my dances that night, this one especially stands out:
He led a boleo, which I executed low but quick and sharp, and something about the music and the momentum led me to carry my leg around to a quick cuatro--a fast scissory movement around my standing leg.
And it's not a very big deal, maybe, objectively--but I'd never done that before, and it was so nicely with the music, and it just felt so good...
For me, that was the best possible finale.

Well, I finally did it. I got annoyed enough that I needed to blog about
it. "Tanguera of a Certain Age" is a new Blogger blog because I'm old and
salt...
