> Over the years, tangueras returning from Buenos Aires
raved about the Porteno tangueros. They said that the
Portenos lead easy steps, used a secure and passionate
embrace, and displayed wonderful musicality. As a
friend of mine was gushing about the Portenos'
embrace, I asked her why she didn't she just teach the
embrace to the men here. She looked at me like I was
insane<
My 2 cents:
If tango dancing can be comparable to kissing in the way how dance is
interjected with pauses and changes of intensity, then this might be equivalent
to teaching a man how to kiss a woman.
I think the issue is learning how to apply the principles porteños use on the
dance floor to one's situation.
Cheers,
Bruno
