Argentina's pleasures - stunning natural wonders, an elegant capital with a European-flavored sophistication, and a passionate culture - are as tempting as ever.

This was only my third tango lesson.  Remember, there are no steps in tango.  You just dance with the music and your soul.  My teacher says I'm a natural :) Not bad for someone who is normally a klutz! I hope you enjoy...
