It is first a dance. This is the primary quality.
Then, after that, it is a social dance.
That was what Igor tried to say.
It is nice to hold a woman, feel her breathing and heart beating etc.,
but this is something secondary to a dance. You can feel the same
things without ever moving at all.
Damn.. made a mistake...
I should have said:
Ladies, I expect nothing LESS than your presence, sharp-pointed elegance and
refinement, to be who each of you are, at that moment during the tanda and
dance. The space and pause between my request is yours.
Igor: One thing;
"A dancer like to dance"??
Hmm.. Interesting. Igor, I believe your getting nervous.
The reasons you write about are very real and illusion.
However there is a veil between you and your Follow.
Igor: For you, who is on the other side of the veil.
But primary and utmost. Never forget this is a nice, simple, fun, social
dance.
At the risk of “enabling” postings about women as “metaphors,” I do
have to admit that I have been guilty of using the “women as a broom”
image.
I have done this when describing the qualities that I look for in a
dance partner, including my favorite partner, my wife Anne, in
certain aspect
Oh dear, dear Igor. Now I feel truly sorry for you. If the items in Victor's
list
have nothing to do with your dancing, I can only assume you're dancing Ballroom
Tango. They have everything to do with Tango. But yeah, I guess you won't feel
those things from a paint brush, broom, etc.

I read about the "splitter personality" in sex, I didn't know there are also
splitter-types on the dance floor...
You know, split things into "here are feelings" and "there is what we are
doing right now, which is...", well, something bad in case of sex, and in
case of dance, what would it be, I

This has nothing to do with dancing.
And it is better to make a clear distinction.
A dancer like to dance. Everything else is irrelevant.

- Makes me wait when she steps over.
I think we can all agree brooms are great to dance with as demonstrated
definitively in that CITA video. But I thought I would list a few things I like
about dancing with my wife in particular and women in general (when the
connection is good) that you don't get from a broom:

He-he-he..
That all sounds very funny, but...
Have you actually tried dancing with a broom dear ladies?
I can tell you, it is very difficult ! Much more difficult than dancing with
a woman.
Well, except probably when she is dancing like a mop...

That is what I think.
To expand on the options available:
For US based visitors Sprint and Nextel allow roaming using a digital dual-band
or
tri-mode phone. The rate is $1.99/minute. You must activate this feature prior
to use
which is best done before you leave the US (it does not cost anything to
activate).

Tango is danced by a man and a woman.

Chan Park does a Tuishou exercise in his teaching, but I don't feel it's
very successful either for tango or taiji, but the similarity (and
differences) between the two arts are intriguing; if I can ever get
them down, I might write about them.

Well, why not? Hmmm...
