[Tango-L] Tango is a dance of collections or pivots

[Krasimir Stoyanov]

Nothing to do with staccato. It is, first, functional - the rotation (if 
any) is far easier, and second, beautiful as movement.

About the real tango - still missing the most important.

Tom, Tom, Tom.  I can write about elegant flowing
movements just as well as you.  You missed the point.
But, thank you.  You wrote a great chapter two!

See?  We ARE on to the real tango!

So, here we have it.

CHAPTER ONE: Deriving your lead from the pivot.  Focus
on the follower, not the steps.

CHAPTER TWO: Moving fluently through the pivot.

ADDENDUM TO CHAPTER ONE:

At a point in time, during the pivot, you can see the
feet collected together.  It's just a point in time as
I describe 5 positions in a step.  DON'T GET FREAKED
OUT!

I guess you could say that a point in time is
staccado.  Thanks, Tom!
