It seems like the alternative to lots of variety in steps is to either do
few steps better and/or do the walk with more variety.
For the close embrace enthusiast who doesn't want to break the embrace
in order to do a figure, there is the search for a more profound connection
throughout the figures the pauses and then there is the walk.
The walk is THE place where variety can lead to more mutual enjoyment in the
dance.
Switching back and fourth from parallel to crossed at key junctions in the
dance is
a very beautiful movement. The crossed footed walk is usually headed for an
early
goal of walking to the cross or an immediate giro while the walk in parallel
can be extended
and synchopated endlessly if so desired.
I personally love to watch the walk and it's many permutations. For me, the
figures are
punctuations in the walk much like a pause would be. There are some great
walkers out
there and I'm always watching for their videos to appear. At this point in my
quest for
Tango Flow, the walk is my daily bread...and butter.
