[Tango-L] Musicality. What is it?

[Michael]

To me, musicality is like punctuation in a sentence. I feel
commas, semicolons, and sometimes excalmation points. There
are some figures are good for commas, others for semicolons,
and some for excalmation points. A nice sexy pose, such as a
leg wraparound is wonderful for an excalmation point. An
ocho cortado works perfectly with a period.

You have to listen to a lot of music to feel the
punctuation. Once you feel it, you'll understand that some
figures just don't work in waltz because the music is gone
and you're not finished with the figure. 

I suggest you put on music and just walk alone to it and
experiment, concentrating only on your movements.

Usually from Washington, DC but now on a cruise ship as a
dance host WITHOUT AT and it's killing me. A musical group
played Por una cabeza during afternoon tea. I almost jumped
over board I was in pain because there was nobody to dance
with.

I'd rather be dancing Argentine Tango
