Had been following a recent thread on Tango-L on community building with a lot of interest. I was particularly impressed with the comments made by Sean of the Pittsburgh Argentine Tango Society, who made a number of telling observations.
I will try to paraphrase some of the discussions below.

A lovely clip that I could not wait to share. While Damian and Nancy are probably normally considered a more of Nuevo couple, here they are demonstrating the connection that we in Singapore have been learning about in the past weekend: a strong, reassuring embrace, combined with moving calmly and smoothly across the dance floor.
In case you are still wondering about the title of this post, look carefully at the clip again, and you can see it’s actually three people dancing…

As a follow-up to my own brief remarks about a DJ’s thinking process in selecting the right music during a milonga, I will add further if a DJ isn’t playing songs that he/she can personally relate to, it will be difficult to maintain the energy on the dance floor.
On the other hand, I am quite sure that all of us at some stage has experienced music from DJs that we find “disagreeable”, to put it mildly? Mind you, here I don’t mean just a tanda or two, but for the bulk of the night!
