[Tango-L] Nina - at the computer too long.

[Melroy]

Not poking fun ....... I think your post was great.

I take comfort in the possibility of a 40 year old body possibly being more
in tune than a 20 year old body, although I'm 50 (but started Tango at
around 40!). For average people, not athletes or trained dancers etc, I
think there is some credence in this idea. 

And I love the line about Tango dimentia where  -  'one sort of forgets the
way home and it does not matter.' ....................could this be the 
Tango Bliss' I hear about ..............

Oh and I've been on those buses, but I was sitting down so I guess that
doesn't count.

As for the more philosophical side of things:

> ' Create a space where a person can explore his or her movement in a safe
place,  is much more important on any level of dancing than the moves or
technique'.......
.......... and .........
> 'Some call it the emergence of the authentic self.' 

I also think these are very valid observations, whether an individual is
just 'expressing themselves' in a non-serious and fun way, or is actually
taking things pretty seriously and really working at developing/improving
etc. or both.
And I would like to think a teacher would recognise this (transformation) in
a pupil and, more importantly, take the time to encourage/do something about
it. 

Of course we are all at different stages of development in our personal
lives as human beings, regardless of age etc. (is this where you are coming
from?)

Now I've been at the computer too long! Which is why I don't post that often
............
Thanks, Mel.
