[Tango-L] not dancing with the music

[Mario]

we have an annual Festival that brings dancers from Canada, USA and Mexico.When observing the dancers, even the couples who have danced together for years, I noticed that the women step nicely with the music but the men often have mis-steps.It looks like the men are getting ahead of the music and thinking instead of listening. They are concerned with trying to set up the next figure while the women are listening to the music and not thinking ahead....the remedy?= Men ought to keep a simpler set of dance figures and only those that are completely mastered and able to appear spontaneously when the music calls for it. This would also require some familiarity with the music. So, instead of always taking classes and adding tricky figures, much better would be to nail down four or five fundamental moves and also listen to the music for some time each day....knowing the music and mastering only several fundamental movements will solve the problem.  Here is an example of such a dance and such a dancer.2012 octubre, Marina Colella y Javier Gramigna, en Roma
