Many people have very specific (frequently wrong) ideas about what it means to have connection in partnered dancing. We hear from some (or we notice by their movements) that they think connecting in the tango way is just too invasive. That they aren't prepared to make "that kind" of connection with a stranger.

We teach that you bring your human-ness to your partner but that connection doesn't require you to give up all of the personal parts of yourself. That you can be together in this very personal way while only sharing what you are prepared to share based upon how you feel about the other person. Think of your experience with really great doctors. They connect with you in a very meaningful way without allowing you all the way in to the private areas of their lives.

(From wikipedia): At 20 he was discovered by orchestra leader Roberto Firpo, who hired Salgán for his orchestra. In late 1942 he made his first recording, and in 1944 put together his own orchestra, which lasted until 1947. Salgán then devoted himself to composing and teaching and in 1950 returned with a new orchestra. 1960 saw the formation of the Quinteto Real, with Salgán on piano.
