Salon Style Close Embrace - In Honor Of Gerardo Portalea
When we first watched Gerardo Portalea, we were struck by the beauty in the simplicity. When you watch it, you think, "oh, he's doing interesting things the whole time and it's so together and textured and there's a certain profoundness to the dance." And it's only afterwards, that you realize that there wasn't anything that "fancy". Watching this clip, let's re-remind ourselves that the dance is about the texture and the movement and the music, about the center and the connectedness of the body, and the connection between the partners of mind and body.
