I meant to write about this for a while. There were tango schools back in the days, when none of us, the ones who blog about tango, knew what tango was. Milonguero(a)s did take classes, especially those who danced well. Then I came across these two interviews today:
(Here is the direct link, if the video is disabled for embedding.)
” My musicality is the way I hear and dance to the music. If I were to teach you musicality, you would dance the way I hear the music. You know the music well and understand the music. You find your own musicality and dance the way YOU hear the music. “
From Wikipedia:
Musicality is a noun that means sensitivity to, knowledge of, or talent for music. The word also refers to the quality or state of being musical (aka melodiousness.) …
Musicality may also refer to fitting a dance to the music being played, with the goal of relating the dance to the music’s rhythm, melody, and mood.
There are two kinds of dancing simply:
a) One knows his limitation and therefore chooses to dance the simple way, which he is capable of doing well.
b).One is capable of dancing wide range of moves well, yet he chooses to dance the simple way.
And these are two different levels of simplicity, yet many confuses the two as the same.
