Has anyone seen Intertango /by Hanne Weyh (2019)? Do you know if it is available online?

well...inability resulting in a hanging style :) Joke aside, if style is something that one consciously adopts and strives to achieve, then the ability to sustain the own axis is fundamental. A more arbitrary/relaxed/common usage of the word `style` refers to the way someone is dancing...

I am not so sure, I didn't think of it in terms of categories but yes, maybe we can do that. However, I think the relation to the own axis is automatically influencing the posture and ultimately the personal style. But if you consider style as the manner of dancing, then yes.

Yes, I am referring to the dance posture and particularly to the own axis.

I might have missed this somewhere in the thread, but how important is the posture for you guys when watching someone dancing (leader or follower) in order to asses if you would like to dance with a particular person? Would you make a compromise between maybe not the best posture but a relaxed...

@opendoor Since you disclosed that you are located in Hamburg ....is there a FB-group where one could find tango events in Hamburg? I have decided to limit my tango traveling to what it is within feasible train distance and Hamburg qualifies :)

It depends of where I am dancing. If it is one of my local places I make it a point to dance with one or two beginners so that they feel encourage and motivated continue learning and stay in tango. Some of them become reasonably good leaders pretty quick. I also dance with visitors if there are...

@Rabbit What do you watch then?!

@gyb While I generally agree with you I would like to point out that this is not a decision only one of the partners/the leader is responsible for taking.

@Tangpgirl as I mentioned in my original message, we knew each from before and we have planned to attend this event so that we could dance with each before parting our ways. We have also made it clear prior to attending that it was only dancing. I only was surprised by him coming up with this...

@Tangogal The Festival was in Malmö/Sweden, 3 days, nome of us is from Malmö but he was not from Sweden. Due to circumstances, the only evening/milonga we could both attend was the last one. 4 dance tandas.

Edit: it was not four consecutive tandas. My question is about the number (is this some unknown /obscure/local rule?) , since it was the first time I heard about such a thing.

A month ago I had this puzzling experience: I was meeting with a leader I recently got to know at a Festival we have agreed to both attend but where we could only dance one evening/milonga. After the first (or second tanda) he said: "we can dance four tandas, right?" . I didn't pay much...
