Unfortunately not. So far I am like those critics, that write articles about
others. They themselves cannot show anything. I would be happy to change
this, but so far I have no opportunity. Don't have the time, don't have the
money to travel. And the level of dancing at the local milongas is
disastrous. So, how can I show me dancing correctly? Yes, I know how to do
it, but I need a partner, right? So far I fail in my efforts to "create"
one. The thing that I have no idea how to stop is their doing things on
their own. Sometimes they stop, and we dance well. But most of the time,
they anticipate, and the millisecond they "discover" the step, they are
already ahead of you in the step. This is very, very bad thing in tango, it
simply kills the dance, kills the connection. And I don't know how to make
them not do it. I have a lady that I teach to for two months. She can
already perform the correct walking. BUT, only when she stops anticipating.
It happens once a week or so. But, most of the time, no. And this stops her
progress for now. So you see, I am not ready to show anything.
I am desperate, and I don't think anyone can help, it is the job of the
follower to stop guessing and anticipating - the correct technique is in
place to make the movement the right way, but she's simply not using it. The
second she "decides" to do something, she just ignores the skills I thought
to her. Yes, I know she is too new in tango, but these kind of going from 0%
to 100% and back from dance to dance are something I have no idea how to
deal with.
Is this because she lacks the talent needed?
And please, don't use the "vs." thing. Tango is not fight club.
