If there were any ladies on this list who might have danced with me, they could testify that I do not "just start like a robot."
There are way too many assumptions here about how and why I dance (I won't argue about that, not important what you may think of me personally) and why I do not care for the prolonged chatting (how long does it take for you to recognize a song, after all? 30 seconds? I don't think so. Robot? I don't think so). I must add, though, that I just can not see how I can focus on feeling the music while chatting. I must be deficient in that, multitasking, department. Oh well, different strokes for different folks. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sergio Vandekier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... > It is not bad manners to dance in place, it is "different", a good follower may think she did not have time to immerse herself in the music. However, one good reason for the pause for (at least) the first song in a tanda was given above -- consideration for the partner's way for getting into the music. Thank you. That was a good and welcome insight (when applicable). Why not? If that is what it takes for the lady to feel comfortable, it is worth it. Especially if it is part of the alure of dancing in the first place. ...dubravko =================================== seek, appreciate, and create beauty this life is not a rehearsal =================================== _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
