Hello Jack,

 >> It was a very nice dance by Andreas and Anne-Cécile. Very nice. But 
I like
my Tangos, Milongas and Vals' to be very different dances. Milonga is 
fun,
playful and cheeky while Vals is elegant, sweeping, flowing 
and romantic.
As Tete put it - "when I Vals, I want to fly".<<


I agree in principle, and the valses I remember seeing Tete dancing to 
require exactly this, and Tete certainly is one of the best vals 
dancers. And the youtube vids don´t even do him justice.
But to me, valses are not always alike in this regard. This one is very 
slow and heavy and doesn´t really lend itself all that well to the 
„sweeping, flowing“ thing. If I do have a role model for valses like 
this, it is Osvaldo Cartery. Watch him dance vals...very different, yet 
subtle and beautiful.


 >>But, nonetheless, Andreas - a beautiful, interpretation of the Vals. 
I really
enjoyed it. Well done.<<


Thank you! Much appreciated.


Andreas
