Tango Story from Bard

Bard Prompt (creative mode): you are a poetic writer. give me a short story about a tango argentino dancer.

She had always loved dancing, ever since she was a little girl. She would twirl and spin in her mother’s dresses, pretending to be a princess or a fairy. She would watch the TV shows and movies that featured dancers, and try to imitate their moves. She dreamed of becoming a professional dancer someday, and traveling the world with her partner.

But life had other plans for her. Her family was poor, and they could not afford to send her to a dance school. She had to work as a waitress in a local cafe, and help her mother with the household chores. She had no time or money to pursue her passion. She felt trapped and frustrated, but she never gave up hope.

One day, she saw a poster on the wall of the cafe. It was an advertisement for a tango argentino class, offered by a renowned instructor from Buenos Aires. The class was free, and open to anyone who wanted to learn. She felt a surge of excitement and curiosity. She had always admired the tango argentino, the sensual and elegant dance of Argentina. She decided to give it a try.

She went to the class, and was immediately captivated by the music, the atmosphere, and the instructor. He was handsome and charismatic, with dark hair and eyes, and a charming smile. He taught her the basic steps and movements of the tango argentino, and praised her for her natural talent and grace. He asked her to be his partner for the next class, and she agreed without hesitation.

They danced together, and she felt a connection that she had never felt before. He led her with confidence and skill, and she followed him with trust and admiration. He held her close, and she felt his warmth and his breath on her neck. He whispered in her ear, and she felt his voice and his accent on her skin. They moved as one, in perfect harmony and rhythm.

She fell in love with him, and he fell in love with her. They became inseparable, both on and off the dance floor. They practiced every day, and performed at various events and venues. They received applause and compliments from the audience, and envy and jealousy from their peers. They were happy, and they felt that nothing could separate them.

But life had other plans for them. He received an offer to join a prestigious dance company in Europe, and he accepted it without hesitation. He told her that it was his dream come true, and that he wanted her to come with him. He said that they could continue their relationship there, and that they could become stars together.

She hesitated. She loved him, but she also loved her family and her home. She did not want to leave them behind, or to start a new life in a foreign country. She was afraid of the unknown, and of losing him to someone else. She asked him for more time to think about it.

He became angry and impatient. He said that he could not wait for her forever, and that he had to leave soon. He said that she was wasting their opportunity, and that she did not love him enough to follow him. He said that he would leave without her, if she did not make up her mind.

She cried and begged him to stay. She said that she loved him more than anything, but that she needed more time to decide. She said that they could still dance together here, or visit each other there. She said that they could make it work somehow.

He shook his head and walked away. He said that it was over between them, and that he did not want to see her again. He said that he had found someone else who shared his dreams and ambitions, someone who was willing to follow him anywhere. He said that he was sorry, but that he had to go.

He left her alone on the dance floor, broken-hearted and devastated.

She never saw him again.

She stopped dancing after that.
