I have been really nervous about posting here, because like, well, there are so many excellent dancers who post here.

But I was just wondering about dancing pidgeon toe'd. I mean, well, how many of you have had this experience:

When I first tried tango I found that if I turned both feet inward, I could get a better grounded or "floored" look.

A retired matron from the midwest who live is BAs and is very cute told me that this is all the rage south of Brazil so I figured I should do it in Texas or Minnisotta but sure enough somebody from pittzburg says that I have to take private lessons to get it just right. Then this guy from england says that maybe I should just forget the lesson part and just turn my feet inward on the spurr of the moment like natural-like.

Anyhow, I started having sex with this retired person (just a long-range affair) and since I was having sex with someone who lived in south-america I figured maybe I would have a leg up on the new york dancers.

But then this complete biotch turned me down (after dancing two dances with me too) and sort of ruined my day. But I said to myself--"Okay, sure she is good looking, and she may have shaved her head in the recent past, but does that make her so completely cool she can turn down a guy with the pigeion look? I mean who does she think she is anyhow?"

So I went to dancesport for a while and this guy with a wig showed me some new moves and I realized maybe


JUUUUSSST DAAAANNNNCEEE REEEALALLLY SLOOWWWW is cool.

Or maybe get fat and smoke and dance slow too.

So I said.

Okay, so maybe day-sorry isn't the cool band (I mean they just pound out the beat) but that guy who played the bandoneon in the late 80's and wrote some new tooons might be even cooler.

So I said.

"Look, I am just gunna wear a bandana and do colgatttas."

But sure enough somebody made fun of me and it sort of spoiled my night so I went to japan and danced with some tiney people for a while to get my ego back. Right?

And then this guy comes up to me and says (back in new york at the south street seaport). "You have to make your partner happy."

Well, I gave this lawyer guy I work with half of my stake in our partnership but he still wasn't happy and then I thought, maybe he means the babes, not the guys you work with.

So I stood real still for the first 8 measures--you know how they don't move in BA at the start right? So I just acted like I wasn't in a hurry and I stood and I stood and she says, "Wow, you are like that guy who died in 2004 right?"

TO BE CONTINUED


But I find that if I just turn my feet inward on the 3 beet (*I am no musician so correct me if I am wrong here) I will get a more authentic feel--ya know?

I went to BA for four years and I learned...
