Dancing on the beat is definitely a beginning place.... hence why I say beginners.
Obviously as you become more skilled, you can dance to both more levels and more instruments and specific instruments have specific actions..... Joaquin Amenabar will also confirm this. This is also taught by Naveira, Arce, Chicho, Gonzalez and really, any teacher that understands the music and what happens with each instrument - not forgetting the voice. Dancing to vocals is one of the most enjoyable aspects of tango and takes a great deal of skill. Understanding them, even better ;-) Often, you will have the leader dancing the beat, the follower the melody, but just as often it is reversed (watch Arce Montes for this especially in Milonga Criolle - recent youtube posting - sorry, no link... at work). Sometimes dance the piano, othertimes, the violin and most consistently, of course, the bandoneon. Enjoy your dancing Damian _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
