[Tango-L] Tango is not a pose

[Deby Novitz]

There are actually pauses in the music in case you might not have 
noticed.  There actually places in the music where one is supposed to 
pause and dance in place.  Tango is not an Olympic marathon where you 
try to do as many steps as possible.

The best milongueros will tell you that in the set of 4 you should only 
be able to go around the floor once.  If the man can meet the woman and 
say good bye to her in the same place, it is considered a compliment.  
Once a student of mine told another student that she did not like the 
classes with my former partner because he always stops when he dances 
with her.  The other student told her that was because the music was 
pausing and so was he.  Her answer "I don't want to stop.  I want to 
keep dancing."
