If he danced (in a performance) close embrace the entire time - he likely wouldn't get many students. Sad but true. I've said before comparing tango in the US to tango in BsAs is pointless. They have always been, and will always be, different animals. <br /><br />Regarding Javier's dancing socially, I can tell you that he maintains his close embrace throughout the dance (as long as the follower is comfortable) and his floor craft and use of space was beautiful.Marikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195873941515232734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-29374440342596447892011-05-17T21:51:24.924-07:002011-05-17T21:51:24.924-07:00It's the first video I've seen of Javier. ...It's the first video I've seen of Javier. I was expecting to see him dancing in a close embrace throughout the dance based on your remarks about his class. <br /><br />An embrace with a milonguero never changes throughout the dance. That's the way I like it!<br /><br />You're getting a different kind of tango in the USA than is danced in BsAs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
