The tango is one of those sensuos latin dances with lots of close
partner contact, including "dips" where the male partner bends his
lady backwards. I'm sure you've seen the routine in a movie or on
TV.
It would be impossible to conduct this dance solo, thus the phrase
has extended to mean that some ventures - whatever they may be -
are pointless when attempted alone.
