[Tango-L] Using the Social dance as THE model for the student

[Michael]

Mario:
I don't know why you're so excited. Two and three year students are still trying to figure out how to lead. The figures themselves are unimportant. The salient lesson of the video is how the couple moves as one.

   Here is another Milonguero dance of GIANT value to the 2 and 3 years student lead of the dance to help him with putting together a whole dance, one piece of beauty in the  traditional Argentine tango dance.  For me the eye-opener is the simplicity of the movements...always going to the cross footed dance with the standard salida,  giros mostly counter clockwise and walks to the cross.  I mean that's it!!!  even beginner leads get taught this in the first few months and here it is...the few turns and walks but done impeccably to the music...therein is THE factor that makes the dance a whole and a thing of beauty...simplicity and musicality.   enjoy
