Strength is essential, but otherwise unimportant.
I think that quote is by John Roebling, but I can t
find the source. If anyone knows for sure, please let
me know. Regardless, it refers to great structural
design. Modified for great dancing, it might read:
Technique is essential, but otherwise unimportant.
If you prefer Euclidean logic, consider:
You might say:
All great dancers have excellent technique.
But you can t logically say
All dancers with excellent technique are great.
Most of us prefer to dance with partners who have both
passion and technical competence. But if I can t have
both, I d much rather dance with a passionate beginner
than an experienced but sterile technician. If I can t
evoke an emotional response from my partner, I finish
the tanda feeling used and abused; and I won t ask her
to dance again.
