Embraces and Musicality

You know that feeling, that of connecting with the music, with the partner, with something inside yourself, with comfortable embraces and hugs. Because that's what it really is isn't it? The ability to let yourself be protected for a while by someone else, for surrender. Decent KL tango fest, doesn't help that 2/3 of the workshops were for dedicated couples and there are obviously too many girls and I miss my partner =(. But it was good, Traspie's continue to be impossible and there's only so much I can do on my own (duh, coz I'm following), but seriously ornamentation is horrendously hard. I'm starting to crave simplicity again. I have to stop forcing the moves, urgh. Hopefully AA will be good, it'll be interesting to see how I respond post a year+ in. Milongas were so-so, didn't really get asked that much and after awhile it takes all my resilience and willpower to not walk up to someone and just ask for a dance =S. URGH. Hopefully won't be

May Madness + KL Tango Fest

Hmm, I have to say I'm more stoked for MATC. Wonder why =P

Disconnect

It's been about a year since I've danced my last tanda. I can't believe I've let life and love and work and school get in the way of tango. The sad and horrible part in that is I feel like it will be a while before I can find time to just dance again. I've certainly lost any ability to dance whatever it was that I could a year ago. I feel disconnected from the entire endeavor and I don't know, a tinge of guilt that I've managed to let it go so easily. The school holidays are coming, maybe then?
