    Benny- Great find with the teacher– she agreed to be interviewed, she taught you tango, AND went out with you? Good stuff!

    That looked like a lot of fun to shoot, Benny. I think learning the tango in Buenos Aires is on every travelers must do's. Something about the dance that is just intoxicating.
