Imagine dancing in the music and with the heart is like writing a poem.
Is it possible to write a poem in a language you dont really know,
neither words nor grammar??
I fully agree with Andy.
I always thought of learning tango in the same way as about learning an
instrument.
The most gifted musicians, the ones that make your heart overflow with
emotion and catch your breath with the beauty of their art, would be
nothing without their technique. Only the way they are able to master
every detail, every facette of their instrument and of the sound enables
them to really forget about the technique and give up to the music with
their heart and soul.
Heart and soul are, in my opinion, things so beautiful and delicate to
express that you need the technique - otherwise you just have a rough
hint of all the beauty that there could be!
(Another metaphore that comes into my mind is the one of a real good
sandwich (can be very yummy, I agree), compared to a real meal prepared
with lots of love and attention...)
Beautiful tangos to all,
Susanna
