[Tango-L] proportions

[sherpal1@aol.com]

this youtube  is very beautiful..but where is the link between the 
dancer and the DJ?

Someone else brought up another very good point, that there are maybe 
4, 5 or even 6 tangos per tanda in Ba..IMO this is a dance 
disaster...one of these tandas can last as long as 15 minutes..too long 
to take a chance on dancing with an "unknown entitiy" whether it be 
male or female...this is a tango tanda lifetime, and unless you are 
very young or have high pain thresholds, this can be a physical dance 
nightmare.    In milongas where this is the MO, I usually opt out of 
the first or second song, and only dance 2 or 3 after that unless I am 
absolutely sure of the dancer's skills...I don't know why the DJ's are 
doing this...it leads to fewer tandas per milonga and fewer partner 
changes and longer periods of sitting out if you have not been cabaceod 
for that tanda...very bad dance strategy..sometimes I want to go to 
sleep and leave early in order not to suffer these long dance 
intermissions...  this dance model is worthy of scrutiny, analysis and 
change.....sherrie

Oh, but they do indeed dance -- not every one of them, but many do.

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQtItjJyMfU, for example.
