[Tango-L] Salon dancing is NOT Social dancing

[Mario]

the video posted as Salon is to me 'performance dance'....you may see that at 
home in North America
on the social dance floor only because of the corruption of the social dance 
there.  The video stopped at the 52 second mark, shows a still picture of a 
performance dance as the woman is held away so that the man can do his fancy  
lapis.

Amanda Lucero and Beto Ayala - Here is an example of the SOCIAL DANCE given as a 
performance. ..but  it is still a social dance..why? because it can be danced 
like this in  the social environment...they would not have to wait until the 
milonga  cleared out and there were only a few couples on the floor...hey, isn't  
that 'performance' dancing by definition and not social dancing....?     Another 
feature is how they follow the line of dance and how their  figures are compact 
and meant to fill in pauses with interesting  cadencias.

"The music makes you dance. It is so simple when one gets it. Connect with my 
partner and then connect with the music, let the music tell me how to move my 
body rather than me tell my body how to move to the music. With the right music 
and right partner, I am contented to have just one tanda a night" -Pedro Sanchez
