Well then suit your self. Would not mind seeing what you can do on the dance floor some time. Tango is a small circle when it comes down to it, and any one worth their salt watches the Follow first before the Lead. How each "guy" gets to be good... its usually a good story.
Like my penchant for cheesy, bad humor.. Ya hear about the rabbi who didn't charge for circumcisions,,, He only took tips... Er,,, Yeah I know,, like my foot work... an inexpensive, easy diversion from heavy subjects. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Huck Kennedy Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 2:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tango-L] Spoon time..

No, I think *you're* missing the point, to wit, that a video of some guy dancing by himself does not serve as an example of good milonga dancing. Whether or not he looks "goofy" practicing is not the point--the point is that he's dancing by himself, which hardly provides a good example of a partner dance. It's easy to be brilliant dancing by yourself. Cooperating with a partner is much more difficult. I'm not saying nobody should practice by themselves if they want to, by all means have at it--just don't videotape it and tell me it's an example of good milonga dancing, because milonga dancing takes two. > PS: Love Billy Idol!!! So do I. Particularly dancing alone to that song and looking goofy. :-) Huck _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
