Tango culture is so subtle and the best way it is that you get there by your own road, you need to feel it, otherwise you don’t practice it.</p><p>-       More than respect of the line of dance, it is the respect between people on the dance floor. When you are dancing in a packed floor in closed embrace you have a vision space of less than 40% and you should be only concerned with couple in front of you… and this concern means giving space in front of you. So overtaking should not be done either on left or on right (specially on the right because the leader can not see what comes on the right). Overtaking is rude and some leaders some times tend forget that you are only dancing and not in a formula 1 race. </p><p>-       Obviously that all couples will not move in the same speed, for the single reason that no one feels the music in same way. If the women take the lead during pauses I let her do it until she is satisfied and this might include one or two musical phrases and sorry people at the back have to wait. Dance is communication and men have/should listen what women have to say… the fun of dance is increase 100 fold when this happen….</p><p>-        When I am behind and the front couple stops… I do stop too… even this means dance all music on the spot… and this takes us to other issue… do most men have tango enough to dance on the spot?... if men get unpacient when a couple stops in front you should go and dance in the middle of dance floor. Dancing of the outside lane it is to show out the women that she can be invited again by others… dancing in the middle it is for people that don’t have technique enough to be on outside lane…. There are a lot of men which can not recognise where it is their place in the dancing floor …… normally an advanced follower will be never dance again with this leader again but tells him nothing… this leader only realizes this when he start dancing on the spot and the music pauses…. Subtle…..very subtle….</p><p><br/></p></rich-text-block><image mediaid="10204794879985704" provider="WORK_KNOWLEDGE" halign="left"/></theme-provider></palette>
