Tango and Cowgirls

        
               So far, the Carrie Field/Mike Malixi tango workshop in Durango has been a success! With over forty people in attendance for the first night, this high-desert, Rocky Mountain community proves once more the independent nature of the people of the American West.
               Tango grows in multicultural communities. Durango, apparently, is rich soil with a population comprised of large numbers of Asian and European immigrants.
               It is not just our demographics, however, that provides a fertile environment for this Argentine cultural import; it is the presence of our cowgirls. That’s right, I said ‘COWGIRLS’.
               Durango is populated by a breed of incredibly independent women who are the new pioneers of the American West.
               They are accomplished professionals who can argue the merits of riding a BMW as opposed to a Harley-Davidson, just as well as discussing the finer points of homeopathic orthodontics. These ladies are as likely to be fly-fishing river guides on the San Juan River as they are to be Air Rescue EMTs and flight mechanics.
               Durango is a hard place to make a living but those that do are a rare breed. They are the world’s most interesting women and we are glad to have them here, in Durango, the place where the West was won!
