Notes on first dances
Let me share some notes on last night's dancing, and three first times.
M. is a lovely Japanese lady and we share our thoughts on the performance and the music. We connected on the idea that a great dance needs to paint on the music's canvas. She spoke sweetly, simply and true. We danced later and we could both feel some apprehension: for a first timetogether it showed promise and we both wished to walk together again.
A. was a different format altogether and challenging me to feel the rotation in a different way. The connection was fleeting and kept me on my toes. There was energy and tension just the right amount but the embrace did't quite feel like a hug. Darn I felt so rusty especially as we danced over milongas tras milongas.
K. was maybe the surprise of the night. The connection was strong and the embrace natural and warm. I was really taken aback as it is so rare to find a common melody the first time you dance with somebody.
We shared some beautiful moments with C. last night. As always it felt so comfortable and fun, that is after we got used to her new tango shoes. Higher heels, change in balance and posture, it felt a little strange. We stuck to the tango nuevo room downstairs and found our rythm. We danced and discussed silently on the floor. I love to be surprised by a foot, the idea of swerving the other way, the maybe?
Until next time, un abrazo!
