tangoed
Did ballroom steps
Tangoed is the past tense of tango, the Argentine dance characterized by dramatic pauses and close partner contact.
Beyond the dance floor, tango describes any intricate interaction between two parties: The two companies tangoed over the merger for months.
The phrase it takes two to tango assigns shared responsibility—both parties contributed to whatever happened.
