    In this specific performance of the Tango, there is an older gentleman and a younger female. The man does not look as if he is controlling, but the dance tells otherwise. The two dancers never lose eye contact throughout the whole dance. This never breaking contact shows the intimacy and passion throughout the whole three-minute tango. This dance takes the story line of the “inspired relationship between a prostitute and her pimp” as stated from the Tango presentation. I say this because of the…

I have noticed that in the text, you refer to Tango Ao as someone seeking to find the Gold Mountain.
