Nice. I much prefer this style of modern tango to the snappy harsh style people often adopt when doing performances or demonstrations.

You know I really venerate this couple, but I find that motto almost impudent.

Huh. Many thoughts...

1) I've danced with Murat in the course of a lesson and he was, without a doubt, the.easiest.clearest.most gentle lead I have ever felt. T'was not like leading and following. T'was that nirvana of "one mind, one body, four legs". Kinda freaky at first--"OMG, I don't know what he's leading! I can't feel anything!... ... ...Oh...huh...I'm doing it. Cool!"

2) As much as I appreciate his (and her) dancing, and their mastery over this style, I don't like this video as a performance. I just didn't find it very musical at all. I actually tend to prefer M&M when they dance more traditionally. However...

3) If this was a post-class demonstration, I thought it was phenomenal. Hell, even if it wasn't, I thought the dancing was amazing. Not what I want my dancing to be like all the time, or even what I want to see others doing all the time, but for what it was, they do it exceptionally well. As an illustration of an idea--impudent or not--it was amazing.

4) ETA: Also, impudent or not, the "motto" or the idea of a softer embrace that accepts and transfers energy being learned from colgadas is a very true one. They are a fantastic way to really understand and explore that whole concept...and there's no way to hide bad technique with it.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey Zoopsia, if you're out there. Does the section starting around 3:12 in that video ring a bell?

(hint: alternative tanda with the song, Borges Y Paraguay)


:cool:

call out to a drowning people: "Relax and move your arms in circles..."

But their teaching and that subtitling are different shoes, anyway.

Um...what's your point?

Hey, I attended that class! :)
They have a very unique way to approach colgadas, it was a really good class (the other ones weren't that great unfortunately).

[LadyLeader]

There is quite many early videos on YouTube where Murat is dancing with several other partners. How do you like them?

[opendoor]

Um...what's your point?

That you were right ;)

..How do you like them?

For a long time I favourt the Mariana Galassi period. It resembled more my style and approach than his contemporary work.
