as most people on this list know, i lead and i follow. i have been told that one of my best qualities as a dancer is my ability to express myself musically. to quote someone... "you dance the music". this is not through only embellishments.
now, i have led many followers... and there are followers who just follow which is nice and then there are followers who dance with you.... who dance melodically... and hear the notes that are emphasized and can translate that to their dance. it feels like they are reading my mind because my expression in the dance becomes so easy. her/his boleo considers not only the time of the movement but the energy, how the beat is used (emphasized at the beg. of the beat...etc)... it feels like painting. i probably am not expressing this correctly and please don't give me grief for that. in fact, if someone can express it better, i would love to hear it. my question... how do you teach this? is there an exercise that can help people understand what i am saying? thanks jackie _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
