the video posted as Salon is to me 'performance dance'....you may see that at home in North America on the social dance floor only because of the corruption of the social dance there. The video stopped at the 52 second mark, shows a still picture of a performance dance as the woman is held away so that the man can do his fancy lapis.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in8rG2BHnwo Amanda Lucero and Beto Ayala - Here is an example of the SOCIAL DANCE given as a performance. ..but it is still a social dance..why? because it can be danced like this in the social environment...they would not have to wait until the milonga cleared out and there were only a few couples on the floor...hey, isn't that 'performance' dancing by definition and not social dancing....? Another feature is how they follow the line of dance and how their figures are compact and meant to fill in pauses with interesting cadencias. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX-nunHKNqs .. ... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=734224171 www.youtube.com/user/nacotete www.tangoandchaos.org www.theopendoorway.org/audiovisual.html "The music makes you dance. It is so simple when one gets it. Connect with my partner and then connect with the music, let the music tell me how to move my body rather than me tell my body how to move to the music. With the right music and right partner, I am contented to have just one tanda a night" -Pedro Sanchez _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
