People aren't dancing with the music even when the music is d'Arienzo, so I don't think the problem is difficult music. Do the men know that they are not dancing with the music? Do they even know they're supposed to? It is impolite to criticize someone, so how are they ever going to know?
When leaders don't dance with the music, they move at odd unpredictable times. This means that followers have to pay total attention to the leaders and ignore (not listen to) the music. Students do what they've learned, meaning that the men have learned to dance ignoring the music. Why aren't (more?) women complaining to the teachers? Do the teachers dance with the music? Felicity listed what she required: stays in the line of dance, is safe, dances the music, isn't forceful, and has a nice embrace. To the teachers on this list, are your men part of the 10% she would accept? _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
