Dance

Hi teachers,

Excerpts:

The elder Gensler would go to Annapolis to lobby the legislature and return home with hair-raising tales of the scene. "It wasn't pretty," Gary recalls. But it was thrilling to hear about the dance of political power and profit, the tango at the heart of American life.

1. What is "dance" here?

2. What is "the tango"?

3. What is "at the heart"?

Thanks

Hi Clive,

Thank you very much for your help. You're so talented and gifted.

The last sentence I noticed there is a "comma", does the structure go like this:

But it was thrilling to hear about the dance of political power and profit; it was thrilling to hear about the tango at the heart of American life.

Thanks again

Hi,

Yes, you could look at the meaning in that way.

Or you could look on it as being the same structure as

eg But it was thrilling to hear about Barack Obama, the President of the United States.
