Coincedently, this morning I came to the conclusion that it was the fear of the close embrace that was keeping the women in my town gaah gaah over fancy stage steps and avoiding the close embrace dance....this is after some months of observing classes and social dances...at first, I couldnt understand the almost universal preference for dancing apart with wide, ostentaciously swinging movements and the absence of the subtle and close dancing....after listening to their reactions to certain dancing and their absence of same for the close embrace dance, seeing that they comprised young and not so young women and from different cultures some of them.....is it just a matter of taste and my own lack of it? I have considered that and I give the edge to this strange reticence and fear of the close embrace...I remember one woman expressing the idea that she didnt want to be 'glued to someone'...this was some time ago but it expresses the same distaste for the intimate embrace. ... www.theopendoorway.org/audiovisual.html www.mario7.deviantart.com/ www.youtube.com/user/nacotete www.tangoandchaos.org THE WAR IS MAKING YOU POOR!
