I recently received this information off line from someone who seems to know
his stuff.
It is about the Abrazo Apilado and I was quite suprised by what I read;
" Mario, the use of the apilado embrace outside a few specific moves is very
controversial. I think few, if any, use it throughout a dance. It is used in
specific moves, like those involving the tent such as the volcada, push, et
al. It may be used more in performance Tango, but I don't see it in most
social Tango (except for those few specific moves)." - el
Maybe, this is the problem I had been having for so long with my lead...is
anyone dancing
apilado all the time?
All opinions on this will be appreciated...I just want to say that my three
best experiences
dancing Tango were when I danced the Milonga with three different experienced
dancers
and we definately used apilado (one axis) for the entire dance each time...
I've been looking for a similar experience since but maybe I'm chasing the
phantom of the opera??
