Another way to learn
TANGO,
is the one that you learn while
dancing (finding and maintaining a connection)
In traditional lessons 2 individuals learn to move (separately
but) in the same way, so it looks like they move 1 body on 4 legs.
While you can BE 1 body on 4 legs, if your legs are being moved by the
movement of your partner, as you're providing the connection needed
for that.
This is
exactly what naturally happens when 2 people feel comfortable enough
to melt together,
but
so different from what's being taught in traditional lessons, that
any experience with basic steps and choreography will not help you
but rather slow you down.
In Tango Nuevo, there is no
follower following a leader, but a rider, riding a
motorbike.
Imagine
yourself what would happen if a motorrider would try and follow
this motorbike instead of riding it.
We're
avoiding
rules, using the natural results of our actions.
This way we develop our own
style, and if we make sure that our partner likes our style,
we can also make sure that we
have more fun.
Using 2 basic skills you can achieve a connection that will
continue to exist, even if this rhythmic movement of the motor
suddenly changes direction or speed.
