Argentine Tango dancing with Miranda at La Pista Studio, San Francisco 2

You can only dance Tango well if you prioritize it. Many believe that they prioritize dancing Tango, but mostly stay on the edge of it. Proposing to oneself the task of dancing Tango would perhaps imply a profound critique of our own way of life, our prejudices concerning what we consider valuable: efficient, productive time, which enriches us in a way that can be "objectively" measured, accounted for through money, through which is appreciated by the most significant number of people and could be counted by the number of "likes" received, by the number of votes obtained, for prizes won, by the number of participants in a class or a milonga, or any event; as opposed to a beautiful time, deep in complex and subtle emotions, subtleties and depths not accessible to all sensibilities, but only to those with enough courage and a taste for adventure, for powerfully transformative discoveries, of which we would perhaps be the only protagonists and witnesses. Of course, it is understandable that for the majority, for whom the subtle and complex is somewhat problematic, the objective amounts and monetary gains are reassuring confirmations of one's beliefs and prejudices.
However, I am encouraged to express my doubts about whether it is really possible to dance in general and to dance Tango in particular –considering Tango as the only way we still have to dance fully– without conducting an investigation and a critique of our assumptions and prejudices concerning how we conceive our lives. For example, the bias that what does not produce important economic gains is something of little value.
