your lead, follow your musicality, execute your figures. But most importantly listening to the woman, in the embrace, in her figures, in her embellishments, what she wants.” excerpts from Lonewalk’s , who by the way is a damn good dancer himself (cream of the crops by American standard), latest post about Javier Rodriguez talked about musicality.

A very interesting post, the way Javier talked about musicality in a deeper level. I will let you read about it from Issac’s blog yourself.

Tango, at a higher level, is very intriguing, to say the least.

“Its not all about trying to do what you want anymore. Its letting her body and her emotions lead you…”

Leader follows… I am revisiting the idea.

is no Nirvana. BsAs has average dancers, even bad dancers too. BsAs’ milongas can be very crowded and hard to dance for some. BsAs has hot and humid summer days. BsAs has problems like every other city in the world…

But in BsAs, you can dance tango 16×7 (save 8 hours a day for sleep, eat, drink and go to the batroom). In BsAs you can dance with just about the world. In BsAs, you can dance with the best, if you are strived to be the best. In BsAs, you can experience something magical…

So if you are serious about knowing tango, make a trip to BsAs. Maybe you come back with disappointment, maybe you come back with depression, maybe you come back with different perspective of tango, or maybe you come back and quit…

Then one day you would say this: I(‘ve) dance(d) tango, I’ve been to BsAs…

I probably need help but you are supposed to live only once. Non? So I just bought another ticket to Buenos Aires leaving on the 22nd of February for three weeks. Great price: $782. Hotwire.com.
Now I am settled.

I actually slept the whole afternoon, now it’s 2:15am Tuesday morning in New York, 12:15am in Buenos Aires. I would be at El Beso right now, and going to Porteno Y Bailarin in another hour; came from Maipu444 this afternoon. Only that I am at home in my apartment, listening to Alfredo Gobbi, with the hissing sound from the radiators on the background…

My whole body is aching, especially my calves. I think I will stop blogging till I go back to BA again. There is nothing to talk about here. And I’ve spent way too much time on blogging.

Time to focus on things that are more pragmatic, such as making money for my next longer visit in late Feb and march, starting to learn some Spanish so that next time I can converse during the break and the beginning the song, dancing a little less and thinking tango a little more.

I need time to digest, revisit and practice what I’ve learned. Anyway, three months will pass by before I know it. Much to do before the next trip. As a matter of fact I feel like I never leave Buenos Aires, a city that I get to know.
