12. I was obsessed with Tango En Skai which is a classical guitar song when I was
11 years old. Later I decided to learn to play the guitar.
The first project I had for Performing Arts is a group project which is Tango
Dance.I still remembered she said the tempo or Tango was ‘slow, slow, quick,
quick ,slow’.
