Some favourites
Some “favourite” words after my BsAs experience:
Basta! (Enough already)
Incidentally this is apparently a favourite word with one of our teachers as she likes to say quite often during the private class… 🙂
Favourite phrases:
Para llevar
Very useful indeed for ordering take-away foods. 🙂
más o menos
For all-round non-committal replies.
Dance free
The lessons from the most recent classes taken can be condensed into three simple ideas:
- Dance with freedom and embrace in a way (coming from leader’s perspective) that allows the lady to move freely.
- As a leader, “accompany” the lady in every movement that you lead.
- Finally, when moving, always “arrive” completely!
Deja Vu
During my last week’s stay in Buenos Aires, have been concentrating on private classes and fine-tuning aspects of my dancing. However, when 3 different teachers have commented on the same thing within a 24 hour period, I suppose that means it’s something important and worth paying more attention to… 🙂
ps. I am referring to the “correct” way of doing a rebound or ribote.
Salon Canning
On Tuesday (7 April) night, we made plans to go to Salon Canning after a late afternoon class at EAT with the Dispari’s. This night was special for a couple of reasons: Color Tango was playing and Julio and Corina will be teaching a class as well as performing later. Since I have always enjoyed their dancing and their recent seminar, what more could I ask for?
Salon Canning, which I have heard so much about, was a nice and spacious venue. It has a high ceiling and a square dance made of chequered timber. There are large portraits – many depicting Claudia y Esteban – hanging on the walls, and large professional-looking speakers hanging above the dance floor. In short, I liked the venue and was looking forward to a nice of enjoyable dancing.
