Remembranzas

One of my most favouritesttttttttt song ever, melody, lyrics, emotion, everything!

Como son largas las semanas 
(How long are the weeks)
cuando no estas cerca de mi 
(when you are not close to me)
No se que fuerzas sobrehumanas 
(I don't know what superhuman strengths)
me dan valor lejos de ti
(give me courage far away from you. )

Muerta la luz de mi esperanza 
(The light of my hope having died)
Soy como el naufrago en el mar
(I am like the shipwrecked in the sea)
se que me pierdo en lontananza 
(I know I get lost in the far horizon)
mas no me puedo resignar 
(but I cannot resign myself)

 Ah!... que triste es recordar,  despues de tanto amar
(Oh! how sad it is to remember
after having loved so much)
esa dicha que paso,  flor de una ilusion,
(that happiness that went by, flower of an illusion)
nuestra pasion se marchito
(our passion has withered)

Ah!... olvida mi desden 
(Oh! forget my scorn) 
retorna, dulce bien
(return, my sweet)
a nuestro amor
(to our love) 
y volvera a florecer, nuestro querer 
(and it will bloom again, our wanting) 
como aquella flor
(like that flower)

En nuestro cuarto tibio y rosa 
(In our warm and rose colored room)
todo esta igual, como otra vez 
(everything it's the same as it was)
y en cada adorno, en cada cosa 
(and in each ornament, in each thing)
te sigo viendo como ayer
(I continue looking at you like I did yesterday) 

Tu foto sobre la mesita 
(Your photo on the little table)
que es credencial de nuestro amor 
(is a witness of our love)
y aquella hortensia ya marchita
(and that already withered hydrangea)
que fue el canto de mi dolor
(which was the song of my pain)

Simple

After the countless videos, watching the performances by passing Tango teachers, performances by stage Tango dancers, sitting and absorbing Milongas, the one couple that sticks in my mind has to be T and his fiance who met through Tango in Argentina. Their seamless blending, the fact that she didn't even need to be wearing shoes and their swapping of roles. Even though I was exposed to this early on the clueless beginnings of Tango, you could already appreciate the intimacy between the two. In hindsight after a bit more experience, it becomes even clearer that, that would be the ultimate Tango experience. It's like staring at something without the tools to understand it, then later when you come back with the tools in hand, it hits you, "ah hah!" that's what it is! It's like being told, "this will be useful in life later, trust me", and staring at math sets that have no correlation with your life, until later when you're facing a job assessme...

Stages

It's funny how I often think of topics to write at moments where I have nothing to write them on, which results in me typing a one-liner in my sms column as a trigger which later when I go back to refer to tends to make absolutely no sense to me! But yes anyway, Tango stages! 1) You have entirely NO idea what the hell the dance is about and walking seems like the most impossible thing to do. You jump up and down inside when you finally manage 5 meters w/o crashing into each other and are elated when the instructor comes over and leads you in a way that you actually feel like you know what you doing. You go away completely and utterly motivated to want to know more. 2) Basics are handed to you, ochos! impossible things! Molinete's! wtf, my legs can do that....omg leader why are you a beginner too! 3)Sacadas and ganchos and all the other good stuff. Now we're talking. 4)After getting to know the community and everyone around (obviously Tango isn't just a dance, ...

Taking classes as a lead

Tangoblitz wrapping up this weekend with Alejandra Hobart and Adrian Veredice, good sessions, always refreshing to see the level that professionals get up to. Notes, notes, notes! Parallel vs Cross Systems The L shaped lead-linear - Leader leads on dual track system (to the left and to the right of him) -Follower crosses across this track using a back step, side step and a cross over front ocho-forming L shapes zig-zagging back and forth -Leader strides forward on the beat while follower is on a 1+, 2 beat-option to twist the hip into a front boleo for the follower, leader must change weight with every 1-2 step -Leader starts on right foot and follower on left foot   which is the foot further away-Mirror start=parallel system-sacada happens to the cross over track (guy left, girl right) -Variation is to have leader start on left foot and follower on left foot-non-mirror=cross system-sacada happens on the parallel track (guy right, girl right) The L shaped lead-circu...
