I am afraid that both are wrong. I have been told by some very good Milongueros, that you never step with the toe or the heel, but instead step...
I don't mean that everyone who dances stepping once per beat is a zombie, but there is a certain type of stiff legged, shuffling, sleepwalking, low...
I think Tango zombies are those that shuffle around the floor usually stepping one step to every beat and have no expression on their face at all...
I tire of people bashing other peoples styles of dancing and I can detect a little envy in the tone of the author. I do often dance what the author...
These are really three questions, but they are good ones. It's not that AT has 'no steps", it is just that any steps are just a result of what...
I know that it is not universal language, but I call it projecting the axis because I can't think of a better way to say it. What I am talking...
Yes, this is exactly what I mean.
I can be a smart ass when when someone does something that I perceive as antisocial, like someone trying to teach me at a Milonga, but my gut...
I apologize, because I explained poorly, but if the follow takes the step herself based on led compression alone, how would she know whether to...
I don't use that technique much, but it seams like there has to be intention or else the follow wouldn't know which direction to step.
Is there any way to prevent people from going back in behind someone that they want to rotate to or moving in front of someone who they want to...
Interesting theory about getting along in real life = getting along in tango connection, but in my case it isn't always true. The person that is my...
You can take the molinete and "unwrap" it into a line. Another way to think about it is that the pivot point moves in a line. Because of this the...
When Muma taught me the ocho cortada, she simply taught me to rotate my body and do a checkstep and rotate back into a cross (kind of like a...
In my experience, sequences held me back for years learning AT, I think because my mind didn't have the framework for them. Sequences are...
This was similar to how I danced for several years (I also love right side crosses and back crosses, but not many follows can do them), but humans...
I have always felt a deep connection with Argentine Tango music from the first moment I heard it and it actually took me a while to be able to...
I find that understanding how things work in one style of AT contributes to my understanding of other styles. I am often inspired from dancers...
This is so true. I think it's very much the opposite. The better AT dancer you are, the more dancers that you can dance with and the number...
You are right. I recant what I said earlier. Also, I have been thinking about it and I remember from school that a practicing attorney was one of...
Separate names with a comma.
