Huck, "If you know how" is not "cute". It is serious! To know dozens of ways to interpret unfamiliar melody and rhythm pattern in your body and infuse it in your partner so that it feels totally in unison with unfamiliar music is a very serious skill. Art, I would say.
Fortunately, none of these ways require you to know "exactly which note, phrase, etc. is coming next in the song." So you just know these dozens of ways ( say, 3-4 of the most simple ones ) and do not have to memorize all 10000 pieces of classical tangos (not to speak about nuevo) in order to dance musically. Just listening to music made noone a good dancer. Moving, dancing with music, and discovering ways to dance musically, may be with a help of an advanced friend or a good teacher helps. I do not miss your point. Igor Polk _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
