Oscar Mandagaran & Georgina Vargas have been giving workshops here in the Bay Area for the last few months. Last saturday night they performed and hosted a milonga. Georgina also sang and her voice is amazing. Toward the end of the milonga, Oscar asked me (among other mere mortals) to dance. It was a dance I'll always remember mainly for the quality of the embrace, which was consistant throughout the dance. He was very easy to follow bacause of that embrace. There was no pushing or pulling but it felt like we were one person. I've never experienced anything like that dance before. I've heard it before, but now after experiencing it, I see that the embrace is the most important & fundamental element of salon style tango. So, leaders, instead of learning fancy sequences put your attention first on the embrace. Your partners will adore you for it.
