Styles anyone

[Nathan]

Nathan, in all seriousness, where are you getting your ideas? You have some of the most unusual definitions and interpretations and understanding of fundamental concepts I have ever run across. Are these ideas you've run across from teachers, or your own way of looking at them, or...??? Seriously.

Um, thank you? Haha.

Some of it comes from teachers, some from my own experiences dancing with many different kinds of followers. I don't believe the way I see the dance is really at odds with the standard view, but I've found that it allows me to dance in my preferred style more effectively.

 

[newbie]

Yes. In my view, they are adorned/embellished/altered steps, pauses, and pivots.

Gotcha. You're a fake. An elaborate kind of troll. Just pretending you believe to your own system where every common notion is reversed. Ok, it worked for a couple of days.

She's learned to ignore you.

nothing new there then.....:tongue:

goodness! so how is it that i can make weight changes my partner doesnt follow
or like last night in a vals she was stepping on One and I was stepping on one and two.

You must be a Tango God, able to defy the laws of physics.

no apotheosis of a bear drinking guy, please: it already works with a side-volcada

I had some classes with Chicho F. last year and it went like this

man takes 1 step woman 2
man takes 2 steps woman 1
man takes 2 steps woman 3 :?
man takes 3 steps woman 2
and so on with rhythm maths ...

I´ll be back in 2 weeks (go for LaGomera on vacation, think to visite Constantin from Berlin there, too. Think you know him. He has a holiday class over there.)

whilst both of those may well be true... but I think its mostly like a conjurer's misdirection....or "Sleight of Foot"

i give her some nice swirly ochos timed nicely so the step is always on one, and while she's happily preoccupied I can can move my feet using Dissociation*






*Dissociation is the art of moving your legs and feet without moving you chest ( For Nathan's edification)

Isn't that a pause?

It's also the art of asking to be ignored. You seem to be quite skilled at it.

It's like being in some sort of parallel universe, where good means bad and up means down.

If it works for him, that's OK, (I guess), but it sure makes conversations difficult.

I see this every tuesday in my class..

:rocker:

Wait, so does that make it a step or an adornment? I'm confused now! :uplaugh:

I was going to strongly disagree, but then I saw it was intended for Nathan. Then yes, of course, this is what dissociation means.

Which tango dancer dictionary contains that definition?

I see people all the time moving their legs and feet without moving the chest -- and I thought they were just walking.

Like Stagehand terminology:
Up is back
Down is front
In is down
Out is up
etc....
