Re: [TANGO-L] Tango emotions - pick your favorite

[Stephen Brown <Stephen.P.Brown @DAL.FRB.ORG>]

I have found that absolutely nothing matches the emotion that pours
through me when I am dancing tango with the right someone to the right
music.  As Brian describes, tango is an emotional amplifier, and I have
found a wide range of emotions, moods, feelings expressed through tango
music and dancing--some of which are difficult to even name.

I think a big part of the dj's job at a milonga is to play the music that
best captures the emotions that everyone in the room wants to have pouring
through them.

As for dancing milongas, I love to dance them, but milonga does seem to
have quite a bit different feeling than tango.  In some ways, milonga can
provide a bit of a break from the intense emotions found in tango.  I
respect that some people may not want to dance milonga, but that is okay.
We all need to sit out from time to time.

With best wishes for the Holidays!
