INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The teacher should be able to dance both lead and follow so he/she can teach you both how to do it and how it feels for your partner. Try to find a class that has a dozen or so people so you have a few partners to work with but still can seek individual attention. There are three types of tango: Argentine tango, International Ballroom tango, and the American Ballroom tango.  Argentine tango has become quite popular because of its free form, ad-lib steps and greater focus on the woman. Many amateur groups exist to teach and promote it. Whether you're in class or at a party, the tango generally happens in a circle. There are a couple things to know:  It moves counter-clockwise. You don't have to worry about turns, swivels, or anything fancy -- just know that you're moving counter-clockwise. Generally speaking, the better tango-ers take larger steps and dominate more space. The less-confident dances end up getting relegated to the center of the circle, all smushed in by the more audacious dancers. Don't let this happen to you! If you go alone, find a partner to have a "cabeceo" with. However, you don't ask; you simply make eye contact. If you meet eyes, you smile or nod. If they don't meet your gaze, move on. It's less intrusive and doesn't leave one party pressured to say yes. Generally, a round, or "tanda," is 4 dances. So if you're not sure you want to dance with this person for 4 dances, ask them on the 2nd or 3rd! . The tango requires balance and the willingness to learn. At first there will be a heck of a learning curve, but trust that it will go away. The steps will come. You'll step on a few toes, but they'll heal. If you keep with it, you'll only get better. The tango is not a dance that can be learned in one evening or with one lesson.  That is what makes the tango so much fun! There is so much to learn -- it can take you your whole lifetime to learn and understand the tango. But don't let that discourage you; let it intrigue you. When you've mastered it, you've mastered an art.

SUMMARY: Find a teacher that focuses on dance technique and not on memorizing steps and patterns. Rock the circle. Attend Milongas or tango dance parties to show off your skills! Be patient


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Another angle to consider when choosing darts is how they look. Each of the major components—shafts, barrels, flights, and tips—are available in a variety of eye-catching colors and designs. You might put together a matching set in your favorite color scheme, or mix things up to add some flair to your game.  High-visibility shades like yellow, orange, and green can help you keep better track of your darts in flight and on the board. Your darts will also be less likely to get picked up by mistake if they’re more distinctive. Darts can range dramatically in price, depending on their specifications. You can buy a standard set of nickel or silver bar darts for $20-30. The more balance, consistency, and durability you demand from your darts, the more you can expect to pay. It’s not uncommon for top-of-the-line models to sell for as much $200.  Most sporting goods stores sell darts in standard materials and specs.  It may be necessary to go through a specialty online retailer in order to purchase high quality, competition-worthy darts. You may feel more comfortable playing with a lighter, faster set on a certain board and a heavier, more consistent set on another. As your skills improve, you’ll begin to get an instinctive feel for when to pull out each set. Ultimately, this will make you a better, more versatile player. Being able to play with a wide selection of darts can also be an advantage as your technique evolves over time.

SUMMARY: Look for darts that show off your sense of style. Decide how much you’re willing to spend. Consider buying more than one set.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A colored pencil eraser can be bought at most stores: dollar stores, an arts and crafts store, etc.  You should not need to pay more than about five dollars for a colored pencil eraser. A colored pencil eraser should work on all types and brands of colored pencil. It is best to test an erasing method before starting to erase large portions. Erasing can cause streaking. By testing first, you can ensure that you will not ruin your picture.  Rub gently in a small circle to test. If you notice streaking, rub more gently. If you notice streaking, consider trying another method. Try to choose a peripheral spot to test the eraser. If it does smear or streak, you do not want it to ruin the central part of your image. Rub gently; colored-in portions of paper are more fragile than paper you've simply written on.  Be careful, colored pencil erasers are somewhat more firm than normal erasers. They have a rough, coarse feel to them and can tear paper. Be patient and continue to rub gently, checking your progress every few seconds. It may take some time to fully erase the colored pencil. If you get impatient and try to rub more vigorously to speed up the process, you are likely to rip the paper.

SUMMARY: Purchase a colored pencil eraser. Test the eraser on a small area. Simply use the colored pencil eraser as you would use a standard eraser.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start by washing the metal object that you’re going to work on. Run the object under a stream of cold water and rotate it in your hand to get the entire item wet. Use a cloth to wipe the surface clean and remove any surface stains, dirt, or grime. If the object that you’re working with is greasy or oily, skip this step. Most commercial degreasers are skin and eye irritants. To avoid harming your skin or eyes, wear long sleeves and put on a pair of protective goggles. Grab a clean pair of rubber gloves and throw them on to avoid harming or irritating your skin. Get a commercial degreaser designed for kitchen, bicycle, or metal cleaning. Spray your degreaser over the surface of your object and give the degreaser 3-5 minutes to soak into your item. Then, take a clean cloth and scrub the degreaser into the item and remove any oily substances.  Pick up a degreaser at your local cleaning supply or home goods store. If you want to create your own degreaser, mix 3 tablespoons (43 g) of baking soda with 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water. Grab a dry, thick, scouring pad. Scrub your item using firm, circular strokes. Cover each section of your object 3-4 times to ensure that you’ve scrubbed any residual impurities away. Then, rinse and dry the item. Don’t use a scouring pad on plastics that you’re planning on spray painting. Simply rinse the item under water and wipe them dry.

SUMMARY:
Rinse and wipe your object with water and a clean cloth. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and wear protective eyewear. Use a degreaser to remove any oils or grease. Buff the surface of metal objects with a scouring pad.
