[Tango-L] No music at practica????

[Ilene Marder]

everyone learns differently... For me, there always has to be  music 
when I practice because  the music  'dictates' the moves you make and 
the way they are timed. This is especially true when I am practicing 
leading. Sometimes in class when there is no music playing and  I can't 
get a move, I find it is much easier to  "grok"  it when the music comes 
on and I realize how the cadence carries the step...   
 as for no music at a practica!!!!!!??  I thought the primary purpose 
of  a practica was to practice dancing!
saludos,
I.

Sometimes, practicas are really more like milongas. Alan and Angel got it right at the recent Atlanta Tango Festival when they hedged their bets and called an event "practilonga."
