Re: [TANGO-L] Memorized Patterns and Improvised Tango

[bailadora2000 @excite.com]

The same can be said about any dance.  Beginners and Intermediate dancers are never going to be able to learn a partner dance just by telling them to improvise.  If we all started out improvising...well, tango wouldn't look the way it does, neither would salsa, swing, etc.
All dance forms have to have a foundation to start.  The hard part for any dance teacher is to teach the student to really feel the dance and begin to improvise.  Some people will never get it.... they just aren't built that way.  So, we can't beat our heads trying to be sure everyone learns how to improvise.  Most never will. Being a professional, I know how hard it is to find a good dancer that really feels the dance and can improvise...and like I said....it's the same with EVERY dance.
