Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

Good afternoon. This is a nice display of the “4×4” the basic step of Tango. And it is better to go a little slow in the beginning so you can sync your moves with your partner. Is that you in the video?
It’s the word we use for “a woman” in. Argentina and Uruguay. The “lunfardo”, whose words you find in all the Tango songs, sprung from the combination of words in Spanish, Italian, French, Yiddish and Roma, the more common languages of the poor immigrants that used to dance Tango while waiting for their turn in the bordellos of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. In my novel “Madame D.C.Book I- Three voyages” I describe these origins in detail.

This is intense…very elegant and the steps are so intricate! You two are perfect together and how fun to share this passion. Last time I danced…hmmm…apart from an occasional bop in the kitchen, far far too long ago!
