You go to tango classes more than once a week

You keep a pair of dance shoes in your car.

Your wardrobe is now predominantly black.

You cross state lines to tango.

You wish you paid more attention in high school Spanish class.

You wake up with tango music playing in your head.

You find that dancers drawn to tango are the most interesting & passionate people you know.

Your house is now decorated in tango art.

You listen to tango music when you're not at a practica or milonga.

You bring your ankles and knees together all the time.

You plan the rest of your social life so it doesn't conflict with tango nights.

Ocho now is more than just a number.

You know who the heck Carlos Gardel is.

Your fantasy travel destination is Buenos Aires. 

You develop a Tango related website.

You now view the world in terms of people who tango and those unfortunate souls who don't.

You've progressed from the practice hold to full contact tango.

You have to work hard to maintain non-tango friendships (if you have any left).
