Linear Vocabulary - Example Combo 1

Being very aware of the direction of pressure helps a lot.

For leaders: if you tell her to go back at 5 degrees and then, instead of going back straight, she goes back at 5 degrees, it's not really her fault. Amusingly enough, this isn't the bad case. The bad case is to say with your lead, without meaning to (no one does this on purpose), that she should maybe kinka sorta go back 5 degrees. Then no one knows what's going to happen.

For followers: We'll say 2 things. The first is that, if he says "go back" and you go back at 5 degrees, that's not his fault. The second is that, on the other hand, when he's moving and his lead is not saying anything clearly, then what do you do? Our answer is that you should cleave to his body and go the direction he goes.

Artist Name:: Astor Piazzolla
Song Title:: Adiós Nonino
Artist Website:: http://www.piazzolla.org

We found this particular rendition by looking at the Mandrágora Tango website

(Paraphrased from wikipedia): Piazzolla's tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms. As Argentine psychoanalyst Carlos Kuri has pointed out, Piazzolla's fusion of tango with this wide range of other recognizable Western musical elements was so successful that it produced a new individual style transcending these influences.
