[Tango-L] Melina & Detlef

[Michael]

What I really liked about the second performance, is that they did absolutely NOTHING. No wild figures, no valcaldas, no colgaldas and they moved WITH the music. They took their time, in some cases waiting for the next measure of music. Too many times, I see couples dancing like wound up dolls or even worse, rabbits in heat.

I don't believe that Argentines are per se, the best teachers of tango. However, I believe that perhaps they may feel the music more than others because they understand the lyrics.

I'd rather be dancing Argentine Tango

Melina,
I tend to be one of those who believe that tango is best learned from 
Argentinians but I looked at the video of you two dancing to "Corazon" on 
your website (www.youtube.com/tangodesalon) and I'd be standing in line 
to attend classes from you two anytime. Hope you come to the SF Bay area 
and teach someday. You move as one, with elegance and feeling. Really 
beautiful.
