Hi Listeros!
I am learning some Nuevo tango, which has brought up
an interesting difference in technique from other
styles that I have danced. And I would like to hear
what others think about it.
I am sure that we all learned "chairwork" for the
molinete as an exercise (forward, side, back, side
done in a square pattern).
However, when I actually dance the molinete, say while
the guy is executing an enrosque, I usually use a
6-sided figure to complete the 360. This has worked
for me in milonguero and salon (close & open).
Recently, a nuevo instructor taught the molinete (in
the dance) as a square shape, with the woman stepping
away from the man on her forward step (and stepping
back towards him on the side step). It seems to give
the man more room for leg interactions.
I haven't worked out yet whether I like this
adjustment or not since it seems that I could be
invited to just do a forward step and not a molinete.
It seems like anticipation to me.
What do you think?
