This year on a regular tango night called Milonga Sin Palabras I had a simple, average conversation with a tanguero. We, tango dancers often have such a chit-chat while at the same time we keep our eyes on the dance floor hoping for an amazing embrace. From a regular talk we got to a point when I realized: this is he most engaging \u201cWhy\/How I started tango\u201d story I have ever heard.<\/em>

1st story<\/h3>\n

The first story is short, but very powerful.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I had a colleague who was paralyzed from waist down. When I visited her in the hospital, she told me what she was dreaming about on the previous night. She was dancing.<\/em> I was totally shocked and did not know what to say. And I was thinking, Oh my God, both of my legs are healthy and I do not dance, although I always wanted to. Who knows when it will be late?<\/em> So I tried to find an opportunity, and here I am, I dance now.<\/p>\n

I started dancing tango 10 years ago; here is the shorter version of my story.<\/p>\n

My wisdom teeth started to hurt. At that time I was a phd student in the US with no dental insurance. The doctor told me for $100 that my wisdom teeth hurts – which I already knew – and also the price of the full treatment; it cost less to fly back to Hungary for care and I decided to do just that. This was around the time the crisis began, with Iceland going under; I tracked how the kr\u00f3na fell against the dollar and I thought I was smart to buy a cheap ticket with Icelandair. It was not that smart after all: the crisis cut deeper than expected and by the time I arrived to Reykjav\u00edk many flights to Europe got cancelled.<\/p>\n

I stayed in Iceland for four days, visiting its magnificent terrains, volcanos, lagoons and waterfalls. On a Wednesday evening, after a tiresome hike to the Geysir, I sat down in a cafe called Kaffit\u00e1r Caf\u00e9 to read a novel by Halld\u00f3r Laxness. Soon after people pushed away the tables and began to dance. I found myself in a milonga. After watching their dance for an hour and a half I knew I want to learn it. I got back home, lost my wisdom teeth, and started to dance tango.<\/p>\n

(The longer version includes preparing for the BP Expedition to
\nAntarctica for young scientists, which involved a trip through Buenos
\nAires, but this is a story for another day.)<\/p>\n
