I was struck by this observation: > When I decide to lead at a milonga, I'm always thinking "what else > can I do?"
I don't get this feeling often, but its a killer when it happens. (BTW, I'm almost certain that the writer knows a lot more 'stuff' than me.) I've realised that I only have this feeling at a milonga when either: 1) I'm not connecting well with my partner (especially those who like to add lots of noise to the dance, but also just when I'm having a bad dance day, or shouldn't have accepted the dance); or 2) I don't like the music at all for dancing tango (eg against my better judgement, I've said yes to a doof-doof); or 3) I'm intimidated (eg sometimes dancing with someone much better than me). I don't know much in the way of figures. And I have wonderful dances often enough to make life worthwhile. But it seems that, when I'm cornered, my brain still resorts to "must do more stuff". Maybe its hardwired. (Your mileage will of course vary.) GB _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
