[Tango-L] Seeing the light, finally

[buffmilonguera@aol.com]

I love milonga - and nothing frustrates me more than a lead who dances 
it as a fast tango......

two of my most memorable dances have been milongas - one at a practica 
in a fancy sandwich shop when my partner and I (I was leading) found a 
great connection, and everyone else on the floor also connected with 
each other.  When the music ended (Tango Negro) we all just stood there 
for a couple of minutes - amazed at what had just happened.

Another was with a lead who I have had a number of nice dances with, 
but this was one of those times that, for whatever reason, the 
connection at that moment, in that place, to that music was like magic.

I used to call the milonga the lithmus test that shows whether somebody 
can
really dance tango or not.
