Phil wrote...... Has anyone else heard a *slow* tango sounding tune with 3 very slow beats per measure? How did you dance to it? What are your thoughts?
Vals moved from slow to faster rhythm, over time. Listen to any of the old Canaro valses to hear slow. Rodolfo Cieri delighed in dancing his "canyengue" style valses to these old valses, with lots of foot- clicking decoration. Slow vals gives much more opportunity for "double-double" timing (for want of a better expression). It is much more challenging to create an interesting slow vals, but once mastered, it can be very beautiful. You will also notice a number of distinctly Viennese valses, such as the beautiful Dolores (Canaro), available from ToTango.net.
