Learning habits
Have not really been able to reconcile the changes in my Tango after my recent trips to Berlin and Taipei. And I guess it must have been just nagging away at the back of my mind without my knowing. A recent conversation provided the breakthrough I needed, and then everything fell into place.
Workshop and styles
New concepts again.
Time to take stock of what I have been taught over the past two days in the workshop with Ricardo and Gladys. I am using the passive sense here because, for me at any rate, I don’t believe that I can walk away from any Tango workshop and then be able to immediately say that I have learnt such-and-such. The material will always take some time to sink in, to be digested and then, hopefully, become part of me.
Tango evolution
Conversations with friends after last night’s milonga prompted these thoughts.
For me, a natural progression in developing Tango awareness consists of the following sequential stages:
- Steps and memorisation;
- Acrobatic excursions;
- Understanding and appreciation of music;
- Free-form exploration and sky’s the limit!
Back to basics
It seems I have not commented on Tango for a while now. Not as an excuse, but I have been rather inactive for the past month and a half in order to concentrate on my studies (the ACCA course on Financial Management). Actually, for the people in the know, this is just another sign of ill-preparation up to this point!
