[Tango-L] Basics

[Michael]

Trini:
This reminds me of what Daniel Trenner said at Tango Locura in Montreal 
where we met in 1999. (I hope I get it right.)  "People want to dance tango. 
But before you learn to dance tango, you first have to learn how to dance. 
But some people try to dance tango without going through dance."

Well, Huck, after the workshop I attended yesterday, Sunday, as a leader, 
the primary basic I had in mind was just for people to friggin' MOVE.  It 
was an advanced workshop on ganchos and the followers all had the same 
problem of freezing as if they were deer in the headlights.  Every single 
one of them!

Dance.  It's movement.  Keeping the beat would be nice, too.  But moving is 
critical.

If you were to have asked me Saturday, I probably would have given more 
high-falutin' answers.
