To understand the psyche of a country, learning it's national dance might seem a step in the right direction. That's what one young American thought as he spent a few years 'finding himself' in Argentina, the willing pupil of ageing yet legendary dancers who inhabit the world of the local dance hall. There are no great revelations or exciting escapades, just enjoyable impressions of a romantic young man immersing himself in dance and local colour.
