Tango blogs
Here are some blog-like resources I found discussed on the Tango-L list:
- Tango, the world and I (Gone, www.dekay.org)
- Inside the embrace
- Tango Noticias (Gone, www.tangonoticias.com)
- Tango Swiki
- Tangophilia
Tandas list
Updated my Tango tandas list. Hopefully this can help anyone who is beginning to compile songs for Milongas, just as I have benefited greatly from Stephen Brown’s advice when I started building a collection of Tango music. I guess this is really mainly for new Tango communities, since professional DJs surely have no need for my advice!
Leadership
The question of leader/follower in Tango has been on my mind recently. Issues like the ‘intention’, who initiates, leader following the follower, etc., become familiar and thankfully clearer concepts after a while.
At the same time, at the work place, leadership is also an important topic. However, and rather strangely in hindsight, up till now, have not really connected the two perspectives of leadership.
Tango buffet
When you go to a buffet, despite all the goodies, you don’t eat everything on offer, right?
Similarly, at a milonga, one does not need to dance to every song being played. I dance only to what moves me, from the inside. Nothing more, nothing less.
