Harold and Alexandra are tango teachers. They owe their inspiration to one of the city's heroes - singer Carlos Gardel. Born in Toulouse, he was famous in Argentina in the 20s and 30s. In the 80s the city organised several tango festivals in honour of the singer. Tango came back into fashion. \par }{\f1\fs22 \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 Tango is coming back into fashion - do you think it will last? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Harold:}{\f1\fs22 It's not a marketing creation, it's a return to our roots - a swing of the pendulum. For almost 30 years we've been dominated by solo dances. Now people are rebelling and going back to dances you can do as a couple, in a relaxed and social atmosphere. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 What's the key thing about dancing tango? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Harold:}{\f1\fs22 Everyone has a role to respect. The boy must be able to lead a girl whether he knows her or not. You should be able to dance with any partner. As long as the woman lets herself be completely led and surrenders with confidence to her partner. You'll see, it's delightful. \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par }{\i\f1\fs22 Delightful indeed. Harold has invited Wendy to one of his tango classes. \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 How do you find tango? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Dance student:}{\f1\fs22 Inspiring! \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy: }{\f1\fs22 Really! But isn't it difficult? I find it a bit difficult. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Dance student:}{\f1\fs22 It's quite difficult, actually. Especially at the beginning. It's demanding. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy: }{\f1\fs22 So shall we dance? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Dance student:}{\f1\fs22 Come on, let's go. \par \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 Harold:}{\f1\fs22 We'll start the lesson gently, just doing the basic step 1..2..3..4..5...Let's go with the music. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 How long have you been dancing, Bernard? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Bernard:}{\f1\fs22 Argentinian tango, three years. \par \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 And what do you like most about Argentinian tango? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Bernard:}{\f1\fs22 Well, there are two tangos. There's traditional tango that we dance - a bit folksy, you take little steps. And a new tango, more spectacular. It's tango with passion, the tango of Pablo Veron which uses more space, more mov ement, a lot more gesture. \par \par }{\i\f1\fs22 Tango also seems to be an ideal way of meeting new people.}{\f1\fs22 \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 What's your name? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Jo\'ebl:}{\f1\fs22 Jo\'ebl \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 Jo\'ebl, hello, I'm Wendy \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Jo\'ebl:}{\f1\fs22 Pleased to meet you, Wendy \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 What do you like about tango, Jo\'ebl. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Jo\'ebl:}{\f1\fs22 The variety of movements. The huge range of movements and the freedom to improvise. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22 And do you find it complicated? Or easy? \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par Jo\'ebl:}{\f1\fs22 Yes, it's complicated... ..but very enjoyable. \par \par }{\b\f1\fs22 \par }{\i\f1\fs22 A single Toulouse night has been enough for Wendy to get the tango fever. Direction Little Devil, one of tango's livelier routines. Here the local tangueros jump to the dance floor for pleasure and - who knows to find their twin soul...}{ \f1\fs22 \par \par \par }{\f1 Copyright Âé¶¹Éç 2000. \par }{\f1\fs22 \par \par \par }{\f1\fs22\ul \par }{\f1\fs22 \par }{\f1 \par }}
