>> It was a very nice dance by Andreas and Anne-Cécile. Very nice. But I like my Tangos, Milongas and Vals' to be very different dances. Milonga is fun, playful and cheeky while Vals is elegant, sweeping, flowing and romantic. As Tete put it - "when I Vals, I want to fly".<< I agree in principle, and the valses I remember seeing Tete dancing to require exactly this, and Tete certainly is one of the best vals dancers. And the youtube vids don´t even do him justice. But to me, valses are not always alike in this regard. This one is very slow and heavy and doesn´t really lend itself all that well to the „sweeping, flowing“ thing. If I do have a role model for valses like this, it is Osvaldo Cartery. Watch him dance vals...very different, yet subtle and beautiful. >>But, nonetheless, Andreas - a beautiful, interpretation of the Vals. I really enjoyed it. Well done.<< Thank you! Much appreciated.
