Nah, competitive ballroom is far more likely to produce psychos. Consider all the fakery (fake smiles, fake tans, fake hair, fake suits, fake...
[media] Milonga starts at around the 6:20 mark.
From what I hear, tango isn't actually danced in London, but "tango" is. See Negracha, for example...
No! I love beautiful, elegant dance halls like that, as I feel tango should have a certain sense of elegance. Men in suits, women in dresses, a...
Classy.
Off the top of my head, these are songs that I really want to be dancing to when the DJ plays them. Granted, some of them are overplayed, but they...

I think this depends on how you define 'proficient', and where you're starting from (prior dance background, fitness level, core strength, how...
Why do I feel like I've just stepped onto the set of 'Glengarry Glen Ross'? Let me guess, you drove over here in an $80k BMW....
