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.

Melody Gardot

I love ballroom dance, my favorite style being the Argentine Tango.

Shirley Ballas

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

Ted Nugent

If you really want a woman to love you, then you have to dance. And if you don’t want to dance, then you’re going to have to work extra hard to make a woman love you forever, and you will always run the risk that she will leave you at any second for a man who knows how to tango.

Sherman Alexie

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

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 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

Only the tango has continued to enjoy undiminished favor for more than twenty years in spite of polishing and refinement. To be sure, it is no pure Negro dance and owes its best qualities to the unusual dance talents of the Spaniards.

Curt Sachs

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

Robert Duvall

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

Marina Abramovic

Twerking takes its place in a long line of dance moves deemed immoral, even apocalyptic. The waltz was called sinful because it demanded dangerously close contact between dance partners. In 1914, the tango earned a papal denunciation for being 'damaging to the soul.'

Faith Salie

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

Tom Lehrer

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

Janny Scott

The tango is a very interior dance. It's not an exterior - it's not flashy and all over the floor. It's a very interior dance when you see the old guys dance in the clubs. I learned everything from the old guys in the clubs.

Robert Duvall

I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent.
