Saying โ€2020 was eventfulโ€ is an understatemen Saying โ€2020 was eventfulโ€ is an understatement. Like many of you, we spent most of theย time at home โ€“ busy in and out of work, dealing with aย pinched nerve injury and recovering from it, birthdays, exercises, new job, wedding anniversary, virtual family holiday gatherings, home improvement projects... Despite ALL the craziness going on in this world, we are blessed to have each other to go through the small and big milestones and hiccups together,ย and enjoying each otherโ€™s awkwardness and antics. What does it take to do all this? Putting our best foot forward, literally and figuratively, one day at a time. Tango brought us together. Even though it's currently not an essential part of our life as it had been, it's still an indispensable part of it,ย connecting and inspiring us with joy whenever and wherever we can find it. We are hopeful for a better 2021!! . . ๐Ÿ“ ๐™ฑ๐šŠ๐š๐š๐šŽ๐š›๐šข ๐š‚๐š™๐šŽ๐š—๐šŒ๐šŽ๐š› ๐Ÿ“ฝ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ข ๐˜ฃ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ . . #argentinetango #tangoargentino #tangodancers #embrace #tangolife #dancecouple #tangolovers #jxtango
