[Tango-L] forever tango on DWTS, someone who thinks like me

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

It's a show.  C'mon!  Sean has a nice way of explaining it.  If you watch ER on TV, you know perfectly well that the actors are not real doctors or nurses or patients.  They convey or represent what real doctors or nurses or patients do/think/feel.  Show dancers do the same thing.  They externalize the internal things in tango that someone on the outside who only watches can't experience themselves.  

As someone who's had to demo for a significant portion of 60 minute shows, I've found it hard to try to convey the emotional aspects of different pieces.  Or to differentiate the feeling of a vals from a tango to people who are hearing the music for the first time.  Sometimes you just have to exaggerate some things.  The show tango from DWTS was a lot better than some of the cabaret stuff I've seen on other shows, where it's just a bunch of athletics.

But to each, his own.
