Questions

Being too safe in lessons is an extension of not really knowing. I can't tell the maestro what I want from him/her if I don't what what I want myself and that is something that needs to be worked on continuously. It's not about copying though, it's about finding the essence of the dance that someone has shown you, a way of placing a foot, or taking a step that you would want to be able to do on a basic level. So what do I really want to learn? - How to angle my feet outward more so I don't look so pigeon toed - How to embellish with confidence - How to step smoothly and naturally - How to setup the pivot so my feet move and swivel better - How to always be in control of my weight and momentum - How to stop moving my feet around in odd ways (tics and habits) - How to do a natural gancho

Tangoexposed

Due to the fact that I stupidly booked myself to go to Bangkok on the same weekend as the Tangoexposed, I managed to miss just about all the classes there were that weekend. Would have loved to have taken the ladies technique with Milena Plebs, and I heard that Tani Herrara's folk dance workshop was good too, but oh well, no use crying over spilt milk! If anything that is seriously ANNOYING about dancing in S.E.Asia is this persistant idea of D.I's. WTF. Cannot stand it, this is the only country where I get less dances per night on average, not cool. It remains a serious issue though when girls outnumber guys along the ratio of 5:1. I'm lucky because most of my basics came from Michigan and I know what it's like to dance with a variety of guys, but for those girls starting out here, there just isn't an incentive to be sitting on your butt the whole time for 2 measly dances. Time to start leading! So much more fun. Anyhow, took a class with Delia Hou and Sebasti...
