Weirdly enough, this is a good description of my arrangements, with the only edit that the 4th is my unchanging actual (not potential) life partner!

I totally agree.... it’s incredibly annoying to dance next to a couple (or Lead) that doesn’t know how to take small steps....

Wow! This just shows what a “big tent” tango is. For me, the goal is always the girl in my arms, or more precisely exploring her interior world.

I had a recent example of this. Both of us (first time dancing) were delighted by the dance. My wife filmed it. I looked at it, I thought, “it looks ok, but nothing great—but the feeling on the inside was wonderful” (she looked better than I did). It wasn’t bad, but I saw things to pick on. I...

This is what I do—and avoid women who demonstrate a preference for open embrace. there is another extreme—women who dislike opening the embrace for combinations, which is fine, but I run out of ideas in that milonguero style (I like it, but need to work on this style of dance)

Pretty damn bad :)

No

Yes, what you’re describing is different....

For about 6 months I used the same choreography for many of my lessons. But it wasn’t adapted to a single song. I adapted the tempo and style of the choreography (same combinations) to the music itself. Prior to that I found myself running out of ideas during a single song (much less a full...

At 3.5 years, I’m shooting for reaching that level at 10 years (and I take 5+ hours of private lessons a week)... one problem is followers want very different things from you: some want milonguero style and don’t like breaking the embrace; some want Nuevo; some give themselves up to you—“lead me...

Of course they do... a truly good leader is every woman’s dream... how many years and how much effort does it take to become one if you’re not professional? 20 or never? but if the goal is contact, the dance as a friendly (or passionate) conversation with mutual clumsiness ignored, pleasure can...

“I’ll see you in Berlin for a tango...”

But you won’t really know until you break down and accept my cabeceo!

The truth is some of the best followers are those who also lead..... (but that’s not a contradiction of what i said before)

Except, one of the things I love about tango is that the woman in the embrace often turns out to be a completely different person from what I imagined looking from afar: the beautiful, intimidating, arrogant women I was scared to invite is inviting, friendly, affectionate; the mousy lady is a...

I know that’s the PC answer but it’s just not the same—no matter how you try to dress it up. Heterosexual women prefer dancing with men and vice versa... of course brainwashing people DOES go a long way! or... maybe Germany really is different! :)

Another cabeceo bites the dust.....

May I join?

NYC has clearly lost its edge! :)

I think it’s only fair now to ask you to post a picture (of yourself)! :) Seeing is believing!
