[Tango-L] Lots of questions

I don't know your dancing level, but if you are a beginning dancer, these 
are not things that you should be concerned about. Tango is difficult and 
takes time and practice to just get a good foundation. That takes enough 
concentration and effort to keep you busy without worrying about whether you 
connect or not.   And even if you aren't a beginner, you can't just find the 
answers to these questions as if they were math formulas.  First you have to 
learn to dance well (and hopefully learn from someone with good technique.)   
Connection to music or your partner are not things that can be taught, they 
are something you feel when you are comfortable enough with your dancing to 
be able to relax and not have to be think about how to do steps correctly and 
in turn be able to appreciate the nuances of the music.  If you spend your 
time looking for the answers to these questions as if they something finite 
and concrete you will never learn to dance. Someone might be able to teach 
you quality of movement because that is often about having good technique 
(but not exclusively and even then it supposes a certain level of expertise) 
but the connection to your partner or the music comes from within you and is 
more of an emotional feeling. If someone claims that they can teach you 
connection, you should find another teacher.
