[Tango-L] Now that I?m here in BsAs



Hello Tom,

you've brought up a couple of valid points - I had the same surprised reaction when I told them I was Canadian for apparently, i dance well.

the main point i was making was the difference in how people approach tango here and back home. Back home, for most people, it seems to be all aobut how much you know, in terms of steps, whereas here, itºs more about how you feel it.

iºve friends abroad dancing the tango in france, germany and japan. everyone has a different story to tell.

what i wrote, was mine. certainly there are many foreigners who dance well, some of them exquisitely well and there are many more who donºt. and yes, the tango style varies slightly from club to club, from how a woman wraps her arm around a man to the styles of steps they seem to prefer but nevertheless, across the board, that ability to make tango so much more than just dance steps is the norm whereas Iºm not so sure many people back at home get it. and you say maybe they dont want to dance the argetine way, well, i say maybe they donºt even know what that is.

anyhoo, potatoes, potahtoes. all i know is that i love love love the way they dance here. thatºs my personal preference. perhaps yours is something else.
