Some say the musicality should be expressed in feet,
Some say that in chest.
Dear associates,
what would you say about a person who can express musicality in feet and in
chest ( or "with" )
Would you Adore him, or Condemn him?

Those of you who have been around a while might understand why earlier I
wanted to make it clear that I had not said musicality was about the feet.
I was talking about weight (where it is is what your partner needs to
know); moving with the lower body and keeping the upper body clean and
clear for

Well, that would be a pretty dumb thing to say.

Keith,
While I agree that tango musicality should not emanate from the head, I
understand you as saying musicality is expressed in your feet. I see it
differently. In my opinion, musicality is expressed mainly in the chest,
emanating from the heartbeat and breathing.
A man leads from the chest, n

I doubt that numbers matter. Not the numbers of years and not the
number of classes. I guess it is all individual.
Sorry - pushed send to fast.
Musicality is never going to come from the head. Gotta come out from the
body.
I can play drums, so I can move all my limbs and parts of my trunk
independently. This is a big part of my style.
For anyone feeling un-musical with no music playing background,

One of the reasons AT has always had a special pull for me is that it
demands one express oneself. How you feel at the moment, how you feel
about life and everything.
Seems to me that one's musicality will come to fore best when:
One is "lost" in the music;
One feels confident about self in the
I agree, I would much rather dance with a man who knows a song by heart!
Because he
has internalized the music, not only is he freer to actually dance and
spontaneously
express himself with more variety, depth of feeling and sensuality, but he is

Hi Huck,
I have taken only one tango "musicality" class. It went over different
composers/eras, as well how they differently convey different feelings
and emotions, even using the same song. Then we explored a bit how
different dance approaches will produce different emotions, such as
creating ten
Based on discussions here, it might be useful if some of you took up Balkan
folk dance, or hustle, or lindy hop, or something you know nothing about.
Become rank beginner again. Maybe some of you forget what it is like to be
clueless about dance and what learning process is. Is not always linear.
Perhaps rhetorical questions.
What is average number of years you critics of musicality classes have been
dancing tango? Number of hours you have spent listening to tango? Might it
be helpful to someone dancing maybe 6 months or less to be taught about
tango structure? Someone who has yet to
Hello Tango Aficionados,
There seems to be a consensus that musicality is matching movement to music
much as scatting is matching vocal sound to music.? Indeed, I believe that
dancing in general is much like scatting.
Does one need to be familiar with the music to scat?? Not really, since musi
OK, I wasn't gonna but I'm gonna jump in.

There is a WORLD of difference between XYZ "musicality" class and ABC
"musicality" class.
Some people need 2 + 2 = 4 because they do not understand basic rhythm
and phrases in music. Don't mock that That's just mean, people.

musicality, straight from the heart, thank you, Huck. As a follower it is
wonderful to feel the intimacy with the music AND the embrace AND to feel the
intimacy of the lead
