Hasta Siempre, Mi Amor (Until Forever, My Love)

Hasta siempre, amor,
pasarás de otro brazo
y dolerá el fracaso
igual que hoy.

Farewell, love,
you’ll move to another arm
and the failure will hurt
same as today.

Hasta siempre, amor,
corazón como el mío,
que compartió tu hastío,
no encontrarás.Y entre la gente buscarás
la mano amiga que te di
y sólo así comprenderás
que por quererte te perdí.
Farewell, love,
heart like mine,
which shared your distaste,
you won’t find.And among people you’ll seek
the friendly hand I gave you
and only then you’ll understand
that for loving you I lost you


Hasta siempre, amor,
Hoy me sangra el recuerdo
como una espina nueva
del corazón.
Hasta siempre, amor,
cuando sueñes conmigo
en las noches de frío
ya no estaré.
Farewell, love,
Today the recall bleeds
as a new spine
of the heart.
Farewell, love,
when you dream about me
on cold nights
I will not longer be there.


Y no me llames, si me ves
a mi también con otro amor,
porque es inútil esperar
si la esperanza ya murió.
And don’t call me, if you see me
with another love too,
because it is useless to expect
if hope already died.

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

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...
