[Tango-L] Snow in Buenos Aires - Toe First

[Deby Novitz]

1st, the snow.  I live here.  It was amazing.  You can read about it on 
my blog. (http://tangospam.typepad.com) It was totally bizarre to look 
out my balcony doors and see a blizzard of white.  As for the Gardel 
rumor, never heard it, and it is not even be mentioned here at all.

2nd, the toe first and then to smooth to the side is taught by many 
people. (If we are talking about the same thing)  Mimi Santapa teaches 
it, so did Miguel Balmaceda, and many others.  When people walk flat on 
their feet in tango it makes them heavy and difficult to move.  Women 
also dance with the weight on their big toes.  It makes you very light.  
You must have your balance so you don't fall. (Please read this as 
weight on the big toes and not as dancing on your tip toes)
