I think that there is a BIG difference between a de construction of a dance into such facets as; 'core work', pilates, other 'exercises' and the use of another dance to transfer 'feel' from one to the other. I'm using my experience in second language acquisition to make this judgement. Using the blues for example, we are using one cultural experience in order to access another =Argentine Tango..think about it ..it is a 'whole experience' type of practice and much more efficient in transferring all those 'whole experience' remembrances of the mind/body. ..strenthen your core all you want and lift your pilates to the moon but it 'aint gonna make you feel nothin...haha .... get my drift? It's always been the feeling of the music that has been the most difficult for the outsider to access..afterall, we've often heard the dancers of 60 yrs experience say that 'Tango is... an embrace.. a feeling".... this is not to be discounted..they are telling it like it is.
