Hi, I'm back with the report from last night. And I swear that every word is
true.
I'm going to try and give an accurate description with little exaggeration
even
though, for me, much of the evening was fantastic.
The usual women (gang-of-four) did not show up..this was unusual.
However, it is the high season and several new women were present..
some of them had just taken their first tango class that day, others never.
OK..I felt like dancing and so I danced almost every dance with the new women.
Here is the verdict on the Tango dances as per asking the women after the
dance
and the conversation that was going around the long table (of dancers).
I'm dancing the foxtrot. That is the verdict from all the women before adding;
"but I love it!", we are dancing very close embrace (not apillado) but so
close
that every inch of our bodies are touching (it feels like)..I am doing
extended walks
(more than two or three steps) so as to make it more 'tango'..I am doing giros
when the music calls for them (often) I am collecting as much as possible
without
restricting the dance to a straight-jacket. The women are all following me
beautifully
we all dance 'as one'..I'm pulling out the stops and going for it with bold,
strong moves.
I throw a boleo here and there and turn into a giro after starting an
ocho...I walk outside
now and then to give more of a tango 'feel'. The women are still following it
with their
bodies pressed to mine...it is a success! Now, the verdict: "Mario, you're
dancing
the Foxtrot but it's wonderful..you are dancing it to the music!"..
among each other - " Isn't it wild? He's dancing the foxtrot to the
tango!"....
It all sounded like rave reviews but I was heartfallen having 'failed in my
mission'..
