La Planchadora: Spicy Wit & Dedication
I’m about to take the plunge and quit my day job; one of the benefits of this will be more time to structure towards the things I feel are important, such as being more involved in the online dance community. One of my favorite bloggers (because she blogs so well about one of my favorite forms of dance) is La Planchadora. Aside from being inspired by her dedication to both her art and towards becoming a resource for her local dance community (anyone who dances so hard that she goes through a pair of shoes in a single milonga is a humbling example) she also is a talented and entertaining writer, as was recently highlighted in her post on the “line of dance“:
“Congratulations, tanguero! You’ve been to class, you’ve watched the vids, you’ve bought the shoes, you’ve showered almost daily, and you’re on your way to greatness.
So you find yourself at the milonga, and joy of joys, a woman accepts your invitation! Now all you have to do is put that hard work to use. But don’t forget that any dance can be ruined by just one fatal collision. Check out these rules of the floor to make sure your navigation is as smooth as your pick-up lines.”
The rules themselves, and the accompanying diagram, are priceless. Whether you dance tango or not, it’s a blog not to be missed.
