At our lesson last night (July 29, 2015) we practiced the walk to the embrace, that is, making the walk to the embrace thick, and meaningful to what follows. Here's two of my favorite walks to the embrace, both choreographed by Milena Plebs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrvR2urP8_U&index=7&list=PLS1lHm_CJJTNzcBfcqusK-zzxSZ_7MExp
The (lack of) eye contact on this just slays me.....
This is a quote from John Vaina, whoever that is, that I saw on another web site: “To be a great lead, do not love the woman you dance with; rather, listen to the music and love it! Beautiful tango is a process of transference - your love for the music will be transferred to the follower, and she will be enchanted.”
Whenever I tell people I’m taking tango lessons they usually say something about the erotic aspect of tango. They say it’s a passionate, sensual, suggestive, sex with your clothes on type of dancing. For me, the intimate relationship is not with my partner – it’s between me and the music. A great dance is when I can transfer my love of the music to my partner, and we move together to the music.
