The first time Camille Cusumano went alone to a milonga —a place to dance tango—she sat paralyzed for two hours, unable to talk or dance with anyone. Many dances later, Camille is an expert tanguera who credits the power of tango for her self-rediscovery. Her book, Tango: An Argentine Love Story, is the account of her transformation. In this interview, Camille gives us an insider's take on this personal, spiritual dance, provides tips on dance etiquette, and explains what makes tango so empowering. After listening to Camille describe the sights and sounds of tango in Buenos Aires, you'll want to put on your dancing shoes and tango, too.
