It's really frustrating to be continuously reading the debating that goes on in
Tango-L
and suspect that it is apples vs oranges that are being described.
Here again, I suspect, that one person is talking about close embrace social
dancing
and the other about Nuevo that is danced with distance between the partners
and often
to hardly recognisable Tango music....two very different animals if we are
splitting hairs
about communication between partners.
It was Jean-Pierre who told how he often just 'shook his head' after finally
seeing how
a Tango-L poster danced in person.
I would love to see a video of this give and take between partners...even
Chichi Fromboli
doesn't do this..he leads and she follows..but if there is something that I'm
missing
please post a video of it. Can you find a couple, on YouTube even, doing
what you are
suggesting? I can find dozens doing the lead/follow roles where not much
choice is given
the woman's role..except perhaps for a tap of the toe or a moment to
embellish freely in place. Are we discussing apples and oranges? Is there a
real debate going on or just another Red Herring that we are discussing?
