Interview with Jennifer Bratt

I dare not to say it myself, but I agree. I don't think this is exactly criticism. Doing demonstration exposes themselves to public critique which help other people understand the dance through the example, good side or bad side. I also think if her feet didn't stay so "busy", if she "adorned" more than "embelished", her dance would look even more beautiful. And also, their dance would also look more balanced between the leader and follower. With the few demonstrations I saw of them, the dances are too follower dominated.
- now I am getting brave.
P.S., Of course, Ney should have his say about this. If he feels good from the dances, the style should not be much of an issue.

Couldn't believe I wrote this.
- Just came across this post and thought that I hadn't ever seen it before. Obviously I had an opinion about everything in Tango a year ago....but now I don't have any.

To follow up the interview with Ney Melo, here's the first part of an interview with Jennifer Bratt. As you might guess, I'm a big fan of her (and Ney's) style. Among her many talents, is the rare ability to make simple steps look special.

Yes I followed the link and the domain was for sale.
I am not a fan either ("shoes" and "tap behind" is what comes to my mind when seeing the name "Jennifer Bratt") but I may have been interested by what this interview says.
 
I'm not able to understand all of these posts very well but I'd like add that my intention from the beginning of my dancing was to dance apillado = supposedly milonguero style...and I've found that once I got to around the three years mark, I was no longer leaning forward at all on my partner nor sharing an axis that way. Now, I still dance exclusively close embrace always but I see my responsibility for my own axis and my partner's hers as the KEY to good dancing... I would say that the woman's ability to dance all led movements completely on he own axis and balance as if she were dancing alone is KEY to the ability of the woman to be a GOOD dancer..anyway, these are my own observations and experiences... I see this clearly... and here is what I call good dancing..the woman is slightly forward at the waist ..hmmm, this contact is just ballast and adds to the feel of the dance.
