Hola listeros, Thanks everyone for the really great advice. Its been something Ive wanted to ask for awhile but was dreading generating a lot of negative posts instead.
Someone also sent me a private email giving some great advice about movement of the couple. Youd basically pick one part of the stage (e.g., front stage right) and the couple occupying that area decides when the group moves. So when that couple moves toward the back row, everyone else moves into the next spot. Concerning choreography, a friend of mine worked on a choreography for the first time recently and shares some very good thoughts about his experience. http://devaldivia.com/ My interest in choreography arose when someone in the community last year began teaching a completely choreographed piece (upon someones request) as a teaching tool. It has since evolved into a community affair that has gotten more people involved, with some learning it just for fun. Its given less experienced dancers more confidence and involvement. And everyone, even the very inexperienced dancers, can separate the choreography from their social dancing. The only problem we need to keep an eye on is the woman letting the man lead her ornaments instead of doing it on her own. But the choreography only takes up 3 minutes of what is usually a 15-30 minute presentation. Lots of time left to fill! All of this advice will help. Perhaps this might eventually involve putting together a little tango show but thats another fish to fry.
