[Tango-L] Heel-first versus Toe-first - it is first when appropriate...

[Igor Polk]

I do not know why I am in this position...
At first the topic did not attract much of my attention, but somehow it
changed its direction...

Now, after all these Orillero posts you might think that I am an arrogant
and energetic proponent of street style of dancing.

Actually not. Not only...

Now I am going to speak on behalf of the Salon style.

Salon style in not tango for show. It also can be simple and very well felt
and very sensitive and heart-breaking. And it can be danced in very crowded
floors with very small steps - very suitable for social dancing.

And yes, when I think Salon, I think about toes more. Dancing Orillero,
Canyengue, Milonguero, I do not think what I am stepping with at all, but in
Salon style, yes. I do think about toes. They do play a huge part in the
feeling of the dance. They actually make dancing to be Salon.
