Her right hand was held low on his left hip, close to his pocket, looking for a payment for dancing with him.

I know that every time I watch the tango from now on, I will have to giggle at the way the woman holds her head and imagining the stinky cowboy!!
Wow, I didn't know that about the Tango.

Thanks!
