Gentlemen! If you want to dance real tango, you should leave exhibitionist figures and mind-sets at the door when you enter the milonga.
You'll need to focus your attention on the embrace and the music, and not on elaborate steps. What is the point of executing tricky figures, if the connection with your partner is broken? Do you really want her to feel like a puppet in your arms, rather than a woman?
So .......
if we dance, I don't want to be your partner for a performance.
if we dance, I will want you to dance with and for me.
if we dance, it will be to share the feeling of the music.
After the first tango of a tanda, some milongueros gently check with me that I feel comfortable. Such is their respect. They know that a woman cannot give of herself in tango, if she is not at ease. True milongueros know that for a partner to share her passion, there must be trust.
Guys, to dance tango, you must listen to the heart of the woman. Cacho Dante.
