musicality, straight from the heart, thank you, Huck. As a follower it is wonderful to feel the intimacy with the music AND the embrace AND to feel the intimacy of the leader with the music.

Knowing the music by heart does not mean you repeat patterns or do a choreography. It liberates you, it inspires you, the heart does not follow patterns. The heart is intuitive, surprising, unpredictable. The music is never the same when you know it by heart.  Perception changes with the environment, the flow of the dancing, the lighting and atmosphere of the milonga, with your mood, the way you feel the embrace, the way you feel your partner and the way that he feels you and the music. And even with the same partner it will always be different because as the saying goes: you never jump in the same river, it's all subject to change and free floating.

warm greeting to all of you and thank you for being so passionate about discussing musicality ;)
