Tony Alberto and Paulina Dassieu from BsAs were visiting a couple of weeks ago and we were discussing my tango teachers who are from Rosario Claudio and Veronica Rubio. After about seven years of private lessons with them I have now settled into my own style of dancing. Alberto gave me a big smile and a hug and congratulated me and said this is how tango should evolve by learning from a maestro and then making it your own. I am the same as you I never think about what name is put on a step or what numbers are put on a beat, I just dance. Someone said on a previous post “are there only teachers and students dancing tango”? There are tango dancers that are not teaching and are no longer students they are like me just dancing for the music and for the partner. It is sad to watch people dancing to show off for the audience especially when the audience doesn’t care and isn’t paying attention to them anyway. Los extranjeros nunca van a entender el significado verdadero del tango. Se trata del abrazo, la coneccion con tu pareja y la musica. Nada mas. Cheers David y Gloria
