Mostly, because I&#8217;m a romantic at heart.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Tango because of the crispness of the movements that I hope to perfect with continued practice. The music of Tango is also a big part of why I like this dance. It is a clear statement with definitions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Waltz for the exact opposite of Tango. It&#8217;s gliding sensation as you dance around the floor, which always makes me think of dance movie scenes! The music is subtler, and that makes staying in\/on time more of a challenge for me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-7226 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/south-metro-eagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2019\/08\/LOSE-YOURSELF-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Bolero&#8230; ah the lovely Bolero.
