[Tango-L] Fw: Define: Tango Moment

[Donna]

Dancing tango  for 12 years and in 6 countries including the US.I am 
speaking as a follower.
I can tell you those tango moments have been few and far between and are 
felt by both partners

I call them tangasms. It has been a combination of trust,great 
respect,and a feeling of being elevated  and allowed to create and move 
with the leader.Ususallly the leader is very well seasoned and 
experienced  and knows to dance with strong intention.
A memorable experience for both.Without verbal orders or even speaking.

After experiencing such a 91/2 minute life,one is is always trying to 
recreate this.
The memory stays longer than a dance or a tanda.
One is always seeking this beautiful moment.

My first feeling of trust is when a leader extends thier hand and the 
way they extend it.
For me it tells a whole story of what is to come.

As one tanguero in Argentina put it,  the woman in your arms should feel 
and look like a queen!!!

The only words spoken after the tanda,"was that as good for you as it 
was for me????"

I will  try again in Montrial.
Donna
