A Quote by Melody Gardot

I'm a bad walker but I can dance tango. You know why? Put your hand up. Push on my fingertips and just hold it. In tango, your feet are free but the top of your body pushes, so if I feel like I'm gonna fall, my partner can catch me. So I walk with a stick but I can totally dance the tango. It's a romantic kind of thing.

The important thing is to know why we want to dance. We dance a solitude that we have inside us and cannot occupy with anything. This gap, that emptiness to which we put movement is the TANGO.

Carlos Gavito

The Argentine tango isn't here to play nicely with the other children. The Argentine tango is here to seduce your women, spill things on your rug, and sneak out your bedroom window in the middle of the night.

Mira Grant

My baby she'll take a chance, my baby got a brand new dance, Wango Tango, Wango Tango.

Ted Nugent

Dance tango and you are literally plastered up against somebody's body

Janny Scott

You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

When you're 50, the best thing to do is dance the Argentinean tango.

I tried to play Piazzolla's 'Grand Tango' at 20 and failed miserably. You need a little experience of life for tango.

Jan Vogler

I still can't believe that some pseudocritics continue to accuse me of having murdered tango. They have it backward. They should look at me as the saviour of tango. I performed plastic surgery on it.

Astor Piazzolla

You can get somebody to dance and make them jump in the club, but your feet gonna get tired. So when you put it in somebody's heart, it stick with 'em. That's what I come with it. And I can make your feet dance, too. I think that's what separates me from a lot of artists.

Boosie

I think those who say that you can't tango if you are not Argentine are mistaken. Tango was an immigrant music... so it does not have a nationality. It's only passport is feeling.

Carlos Gavito

My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sit down contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on because there wasn't another dance left in me.

Robert Fulghum

You can raise welts like nobody else, as we dance to the Masochism Tango.

Tom Lehrer

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.

Pope Francis

When you dance tango fast, you have to think slow.

Robert Duvall

Tango is about feeling and sensitivity, otherwise you are just doing gymnastics. You can do all the steps but it has to have the feeling and sensitivity of authentic tango.

Carlos Gavito

The traditional tango is really staccato, but with the Argentine tango, you have to be really sexy and saucy.
