Brian Spellman couldn’t escape tango ever since it found him. Argentine Tango found Brian when he was working as a nightshift janitor at a soda factory in Connecticut, feeling quite directionless. Soon enough, he was getting all of his work done in two hours so he could spend the rest of his shift practicing the steps, or passing out in a closet to build energy for dancing at the next opportunity. Several trips to Buenos Aires and many wonderful teachers later, Tango has the ultimate grip on Brian’s soul, and he’s happier for it.
