After a short burst of high creativity, it looks like Tango-L has fallen back
into dullsville.
OK..here's something to perk up the napes of the Tango-L sharpshooters.
I'm working on a thesis that Tango classes may be where the real Tango has
gone to.
Chris U.K. not withstanding, there is a lot to recommend spending a weekend
in workshops
and classes rather than Milongas. Shall I ennumerate?...(is that like
master....?)
first of all; one gets to dance in classes and maybe not get to dance in
Milongas.
second: one gets to dance with lots of different partners. 'teachers' know to
'change partners'
every mini-move and therein is the real allure of the class..to dance with
that person that we
would be afraid to ask otherwise.
third: You only have to 'put up' with a dance partner for a couple of
minutes...it's a lot lighter
than going thru the commitment of a 4 dance tanda..and who could even make
that decision
to Tanda to begin with? Some of us are just not ready for the drama.
fourth: There is intellectual stimulation as well as physical in a class..the
teachers are there
to involve and entertain you....
I'm running out of acceptable post size here and so I will leave the rest up
to you..it's easy to ennumerate many advantages to spending a night in a class
rather than a Milonga..
and since Tango means $$$$ perhaps the class will be THE venue of the future.
Heck, if we serve cheese and wine and have breaks, etc. etc. ..the class
could be THE new Tango!
