And, not turning whatsoever? Yep. I mean that. Someone can be a good dancer with a very limited repertoire, but, as I said: "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." So take the Pivot and maybe the mangement between parallel/crossed system and you can improvise any possible turn out of the elements (steps & privots). You still don't need a "figure" (pre-defined step). ;-) Good day, Melina _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
