I understand how you feel. I am 100% Russian. We don’t really have a dance, but we have some cultural aspects that I’m trying to learn more about and maintain that are in our blood – like cooking. Russians really know the truth about the curative powers of food.

I <3 Carlos Gardel. "Mi Buenos Aires Querida" makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I’m sure all you need to do is take some lessons with a patient instructor. I think ANYONE can learn how to dance. It’s in everyone’s blood.

I’ve not taken the Argentine Tango class at CCSF, but I’ve taking Beginner and Intermideate ballroom, and Beginner Swing. And those were fine classes for what you are paying. I also met some pleasant people during the course of the semester. It’s always good to get a friend to sign up with you, however. You will never dance with the same dance partner (at least that’s the experience in ballroom), but having a female or male friend in the class has its advantages. A guy friend guarantees you’ll have at least one partner you feel 100% comfortable getting close and intimate with. A female friend allows you the opportunity to have reinforcements, because unfortunately, for many people these dancing classes are a dating ground.
