Yes, especially if the teaching is for commercial reasons. That's equally true in Buenos Aires as it is Worldwide. What the dance needs (as...
Then someone should tell the milonga organisers of Buenos Aires that this so-called outlawing of the backstep needs to be enforced.
Surrender!!! NO!! Nor submission. It's physical and mental commitment, one to another, whole hearted and without qualification. The two partners...
It can be seen and it certainly can be felt. There are tourists I don't dance with because they don't embrace fully and even some recently taught...
You are right Zoopsia, her hand appears to be pressed onto his wrist and Cacho's hand has nothing to grip - I had to look really hard for this....
A spectrum of what exactly? The first is arguably non-tango as it is non tango music. I actually think Homer and Christina are rather good...
In this case I find myself in (non-violent) agreement with UKDancer. I for one would like to be educated if you think you know the answers to...
Indeed you could be right! My story wasn't gossip but personal experience. I could say more but will now let this off-topic subject rest.

You mean I can refute you with impunity! It won't surprise you to know that I don't share your viewpoint, especially in this economic climate....
You seem so certain in your opinion. The only political certainty is uncertainty. A deeper knowledge of the histories of the territories...
I have never encountered any antagonism whatsoever to either being British or more specifically English. Surprise sometimes, at my liking their...
Hmmm - in books you can find just as many contrary opinions as we have on here and maybe more. Just because it's in a book doesn't make it gospel....
But in tango your arms are not free, one is embracing your partner, the other is holding hands. ContraBodyMotion can be seen in tango when those...
I agree. But that is natural walking on ones own. And I agree again, if it is natural rather than added as Andabien indicated. One distinctive...
You too miss the point. Read what AndaBien said here: He is constructively using CBM to add something to his dance, his choice but not...
All I can say is watch the stillness of the upper bodies of BsAs social dancers. You make my point clearly alright. I can turn while moving...
Separate names with a comma.
