Cabeceo is Respect! Argentine Tango Pinback Button

Short, pointed statements about Argentine Tango. Start a conversation about the dance you love. The world needs more respect, dialog and embraces. Notes about "Cabeceo": 1) What is cabeceo? In short, the cabeceo is a way of inviting someone to dance in tango. Instead of walking up to someone to ask verbally, you just catch the person’s eye and make a non-verbal invitation / agreement with your head. The custom originated in Buenos Aires, but it’s becoming increasingly more common in Europe {and North America!}. At some events, it’s even specified that the cabeceo should be the only way of inviting someone to dance. 2) What does it mean? Cabeceo is a noun and means “nod”. It’s related to “cabeza”, which means head. As you will see below, though, the cabeceo can’t really happen without the mirada, which means “look”. Since we live in the age of phrase-shortening, we often say only “cabeceo” instead of “mirada and cabeceo”, but using both words describes the concept better. One more note from the language department: only one A, please! Ca-bE-cE-o. #TangoMind, #Cabeceo, #DanceOften, #EyeContactandaNod, #Mirada
