In spite of age and cultural differences, Lou and Agnes soon found they had much more in common than a love of Tango. Lou’s grandfather was raised in a town not more than 40 miles away from where Agnes was raised. More importantly, the couple discovered that they share the same taste in books; looking through Lou’s library, Agnes selected a novel which she describes as “The most important book I’ve ever read.” Amazingly, this is also his favorite novel. Lou and Agnes not only found a Polish connection, they found an intellectual and heart connection as well, one that transcends all limits and cultural expectations.

As everybody knows Al’s classes seem to have a romantic & magical quality. It’s where students can learn to love, respect and dance the Tango and ultimately very often meet their soul mate. As it’s practiced in Tango so it is in life: two months after Lou & Agnes met in a Tango Chicago Class Lou popped the question and proposed to Agnes and like a true Tango Woman, she agreed to marry him June 2004.
