Early on in my tango dancing life, I usually felt out of balance when dancing. I had one fantastic dance with someone, in which I felt fabulously balanced and did all sorts of fast stuff. I'm not sure exactly how he did it, but I have always thought that it's because he could sense when I was about to be out of balance, and then subtly moved to a place so that by the time I put my foot down, I was in balance instead. Extraordinarily wonderful. __Sharon _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
