As a complete Tango newbie (6mos) and after watching hours of Youtube each day,
I would agree that yes 'patterns' afflict even the most seasoned Milongueros.
The difference is that the social dancers are dancing for 'feeling' and not
to be seen.
They may only have a repratoire of short walks, ochos cortados, ocassional
cross, and
giro but they do it with feeling and they do the giro when the music takes
off ...not when
it simply falls next in the progression.
If one looks long enough at youtube you will come to the conclusion that the
best
dancers could make simple walking, an ocho cortado, a giro, one sacada and a
defeated cross...into the most beautiful dance possible..by listening/knowing
the music
and dancing to it together...
