Ok, I'm not saying that I can define the dance roles of the man and the woman in Argentine Tango. But, I would like to begin a discussion of it and welcome all who would like to join in.
One of the differences in roles that most impresses me is how the man is responsible for the dance itself. That is; he sets the cadence the movements the vital feel of the dance. He is also responsible for what comes next, this in itself can be a BIG job and an intimidating one. This situation is a big reason why it should be the man who decides when and with whom to dance. The music and the person with whom he dances ought to give him the conviction that he can pull it off (this song) with her help (be a positive and elegant experience). The woman's part is equally as challenging, although not being as privy to it as I am the man's, I cannot but marvel at it when I see it well done. There is a combination of both the beauty of surrender and innovation. A truly marvelous dynamic that is replicated thruout life in many ways, but that is besides the point. If any of this rings a bell with you and you would like to add something, please do... and thank you. ... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=734224171 www.youtube.com/user/nacotete www.tangoandchaos.org www.theopendoorway.org/audiovisual.html THE WAR IS MAKING YOU POOR! _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
