"You can feel they've walked in sand with bare feet..."

“Australian dancers have a strong earthbound technique, very fluid and agile. You can feel that they’ve walked in sand with bare feet.” 

-Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (choreographer of the tango-inspired production Milonga) quoted in the The Australian 31/5/14

Sounds like we antipodeans have an advantage when it comes to tango!

Maybe walking (or dancing) in the sand with bare feet should be part of our tango practice routine!
