You know what? We’ll admit it - Watching people tango makes us laugh. Every time. There’s something about its super earnest, try-hardy brand of sexiness that makes us giggle. And this Reuters article on the dance, entitled “Tango competitors reach inside for a win,” is not helping matters. Ok, let’s play a game. Ready? Replace “tango” with “flicking the bean” and try not to laugh. We dare you:

Maturity can be a plus in tango, a passionate and nostalgic dance, said Cristina Sosa, 25 and Daniel Nacucchio, 29, as they practice for the world competition after winning the Buenos Aires metropolitan contest earlier this year.

Gliding and pausing in a tight embrace around an empty dance hall floor during a recent afternoon rehearsal, the couple concentrated less on technique than on putting soul into their moves to tango’s accordion strains and melancholy lyrics.

“The truth is I don’t even know what steps I’ll do. Sometimes something new comes out of me and I don’t even know where it came from,” said Nacucchio, a former pianist who spent his 20s teaching tango in Japan.

Sucio.
