Tango
dancers from across the state, nation and around the world
have often
remarked on the beautiful Plaza
Arts Center. They say it looks like just like the dance halls
in Buenos Aires. To me, it seems to be a cross between Nino
Bien and Club Gricel with its vast maple floor and high balcony.
As
the song "Poema" played one evening during a Mariposa
milonga, several Argentine dancers from "Forever Tango" in
a melodic, longing sigh, simultaneously rose from the table
to dance their heartfelt tango. Truly, Dallas transformed
into Buenos Aires in that magical moment.
Now,
as I look down from
the balcony, I reflect upon that wonderful evening and
see that it has carried on in some way. Each embraced couple
is dancing in their own world of emotions; their footwork
musically
expressing life's paths and obstacles ... their tango ...
in a postcard perfect setting.
Get
your ticket to the milonga, step into the Plaza, into the
enchantment of tango, and
let
the heartfelt warmth of Buenos Aires embrace you.
