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!
Tango actions
Lots of Tango to come in short order.
With the return of Gladys and Ricardo this coming Friday, we will have a milonga. This will be followed by some workshops on the weekend, just ahead of the Taiwan Tango Festival in the latter half of next week!
Tango Buenos Aires
Just discovered the following link, from Torito Pasionarte (Rob Nuijten’s website), which has some nice photos of the various Minloga venues in Buenos Aires. Worth checking out!
Paradox
Had the opportunity to take over a friend’s Tango class for beginners tonight. During the class, while explaining some drills for molinete, something became to clear to me. Actually, this ideas has been mulling in my head for quite some time. It was not until I got home that it took a shape such that I am able to articulate.
