At 47, Robin Tara quits her job and follows her heart to New York, and later Argentina. She eventually realizes she could do more for Tango besides dancing to her favorite music.
And of course...there's Javier.
Inspiring piece that, once again, reminds us being passionate shouldn't end at 'being'. It can take us places we couldn't have dreamed of if we act on it, no matter what stage are we at in our lives. There's a reason they say "better late than never."
Nicely done. If you like tango it'll make you want to dance it. The title/premise bothered me a bit: did she only marry the tango? What about the guy? The story is engaging.
A very polished piece smoothly mixing narration, interview and, of course, tango music. It helps that Robin Tara has a smoky, engaging voice. Every woman of a certain age nurtures tango fantasies and here is the tale of one who pursues those fantasies and is rewarded with both a business and a man. This certainly belongs in a "follow your dream" category and will be very appealing as such.
