In an interview (danceoftheheart/naveirainterview.htm) Gustavo Naveira recalls, During the reception, someone put on a tango, and a woman at the reception, when she heard it, asked in a loud voice, Is there any man here that has what it takes to really dance a tango with me? Nobody answered at the beginning, but my father, a stranger to that group, suddenly said, It would be my pleasure, senora. A big silence fell over the room. My father was on the other side of the room from the woman, and he stood there, waiting for her acceptance. When she said yes, he walked towards her & they met in the middle of the ballroom. And they danced. And of course, they had never met before. And they danced perfectly well, as if they had done it for a long time. This situation was amazing for me & for everyone at the party. At that moment, my father became for me a hero. To me, this is a key element of the magic of tango. That two people, who have never previously met, and who may never see each other again, can connect with each other and the music on the dance floor and create something unique and special together. Here is another example of this magic - Jorge Torres and Vanja Modzelewski performing 10 minutes after they first met: youtube/watch?v=2sPvHdTf3s0
