Andrea discovered Argentine tango in her 20s. Over the next decades it gradually changed - and in many ways became - her life. Just about everything in tango is a microcosm of life at large, and just about everything learned on the dance floor is a life lesson as well. This book is a collection of some of the most interesting and valuable things this passionate and complex dance has taught Andrea over the years she has been practising and teaching it.

Andrea Shepherd has written and danced all her life. She took her first ballet class at age 4 and started writing her first novel at 13. Now she owns one of the top tango schools in Montreal and has published her first book.
