The Gypsy people are holding a festival. The women are bold and alluring, as they dance to the intricate and passionate music of the Tango. The men who are watching, are biding their time, waiting for the woman to invite them with an intricate roll of the hips. The men like what they saw, and they begin their own dance to intrigue the woman.They fling their feet in the air and shout for joy as they are caught up in the wildness of the dance. Standing alone, away from the crowd, in a secluded area, stands a man waiting. He waits for a woman, a woman who returns at that moment from a distant journey. She stands and watches, waiting for the recognition to strike her beloved as he glances at her.
