		<title>On Kindness to beginners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Debbi, your post regarding tango etiquette on how you gracefully explained to a young leader the 101 of a milonga etiquette is great. I do, however, digress with you on the reason why people leave Tango for some other dance. There&#8217;s just not enough kind persons willing to explain this stuff in the tango [...]]]></description>

		<title>The joy of following</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I lead most of the time I dance tango. I practice my follower&#8217;s skills in practicas. In milongas, I will sometimes follow in playful roles swaps with some lady friends. I love to follow. It has been a process of re-discovering the dance. It made me gain much more appreciation for the dance and in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Milonga life #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had a chance to dance with a relatively famous Tango DJ. I immediately realized she was a really nice person since even though she was tired she still swapped her sandals for some dancing shoes after I asked her. That, on everyone&#8217;s book, is a very nice gesture. We danced and chatted. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Milonga life #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I said hi and she said hi back to me. The last and only time we danced was, according to my recollection, disappointing. To her. I was nervous since I had seen her dance before. She was obviously a gifted dancer. I could not connect and figure out her style. Nothing in that dance &#8220;connected&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>As close as it gets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still alive, thinking and living tango. But writing less. Dancing a bit less too, but alas, life gets in the way. I have been out socially a bit less than what I used to and having less flavorful nights when I do. Some politics to deal with and a busy life have kept me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tip to followers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t need to turn down people that have been nice to you before just to be accepted to a clique. I know a festival is a moment where you think you need to be accepted by others but perhaps being nice to the leaders that have helped you blossom will go a longer way [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is my kind of Tango</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ask every Jazz musician how they learned and they&#8217;ll tell you: from listening to records. It&#8217;s all there a lot of them will say. I feel a lot of that has happened in my tango journey. A lot of times you need to watch a lot to realize what&#8217;s happening, just like a jazz musician [...]]]></description>
