How many figures do you need to be a good dancer? In my opinion? NOT ONE STEP!
You can be an excellent dancer, if you just walk forward - provided you do it musically, connected to the partner with a nice embrace. If you are furthermore able to communicate a shift of weight in place, a sidestep and a backstep, this is even better! If you are even capable of communicationg a pivot and of distinguishing between the parallel and the crossed system this is a big plus. But you don't need it to be a good dancer. It just gives you a bigger repertoire. I've danced with a lot of good dancers, who have a quite limited repertoire and with even more bad dancers with a huge repertoire! Some may find that boring, but I'm searching for the quality within a single movement. But just now, I prefer to not dance at all, but to rest my feet after three days of teaching in Oslo. ;-) Have a nice day, Melina MELINA SEDO & DETLEF ENGEL www.tangodesalon.de www.youtube.com/tangodesalon [email protected] (0049) (0)681 9381839 (0049) (0)177 4340669 _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
