Yeah, it yanks my chain as well. If you dance in a confined place, it can be to improve your connection (to your partner or to the music) by practicing "less is more" rather than steps; it can also be to improve your improvisational and your navigational skills (something which will make you more at ease and natural in any setting and may help to turn your dance into something organic rather than a sequence-of-steps). _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
