I don't have a good approach to how to teach followers musicality in a group lesson.
In privates, I explain and show how I feel the music, so they can hear my interpretation (where to I might slow down, speed up, go with the small or large steps etc.). Once the follower understands my interpretation she can explore and contribute to the dance (because I listen to her interpretation as well). This conversation between partners is very subtle, therefore I work on it with those followers, who are already comfortable with their balance and the basic footsteps. It helps to work with one orchestra throughout the lesson, especially with those followers, who are not used as yet to dance to classic tango (common occurrence in Colorado Springs). -- Oleh Kovalchuke Argentine tango : Connection, Balance, Rhythm http://www.tangospring.com/ _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
