However, I am afraid that now you may have spoiled Mario's delight in having found a solution how not to keep stepping on his partner's feet. Nope, walking in the outside parallel position at all times is not how this is corrected. ; ) It may help to take classes occasionally and learn more about connection and leading, something that remains fairly invisible in youtube videos... grin Astrid ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l

Mario: Did you realize the man's left hand didn't "stir the pot" like the last video you showed. Nobody's foot should get stepped on in milonga so there's no reason for the man to step outside to prevent something that shouldn't happen anyway. Michael I'd rather be dancing Argentine Tango - Original Message - From: "Mario" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 10:49 AM Subject: [Tango-L] The Milonga solution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5VTQb7nc9c This couple's Milonga dance is a breath of fresh aire and very instructional to the up-tight and can't-get-it-right Tango dancers who usually sit out this song. First of all; all steps are in Parallel footing and there is never a doubt about what is happening for either partner. Secondly; 90% of the steps are done outside position. This way we have outside parallel stepping and no body gets their foot stepped on... (just in case that is what the non-Milonga dancers worry about all the time) The third ingrediant is the ability to dance..not just move from one pose to another. Or better put; a sense of rhythm ..one that effects the whole body and not just the mine. Anyway, check this video out and try imitating it at home, it's safe! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5VTQb7nc9c ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
