The wisdom of Carlos Gavito



In English:
The man must know that he dances for her, and in doing so, he makes her feel like a queen. Only thus, will he be the king.

Another Gavito quote:
"The secret of tango is in the moment of improvisation that happens between step and step.  It is to make the impossible thing possible: to dance silence.  This is essential to learn in tango dance, the real dance, that of the silence, of following the melody." 

Carlos Gavito
