[Tango-L] TANGO 2000 ............For DUMMIES

[Jay Rabe]

Ecsedy Aron,



Interesting that you "read between the lines" and conclude that my point had to do with fear of invasion of personal space. I believe that's an incorrect conclusion.


While your comments about the cultural differences in space management
whether on the highways or the dancefloors between Argentina and other
parts of the world is right on, observations I've made myself, they are
not the central issue here.



The central issue is that I want to enjoy my partner and the music. I
don't want to have to dance overly defensively. I want my movements to
be a smooth choreography with the music and the movement of the couples near to me. I
want to protect my partner from injury or the embarrassment of her
causing injury if someone darts in front of her after I've led her to
step. I can't do either of these things well when the leader near me is
darting in and out of every open space, whether it's in his lane or in
front of or behind me in my lane.



Hope that clarifies.
