Milonga lesson with Daniela Arcuri and "Latigo" Daniel Ponce 2/13/11) When I watch this video from my typical analytical perspective, I cringe. I regret having Dennis record it. Every time I know I'm being recorded, I get nervous and forget everything I knew 3 minutes before the camera started rolling. This time was no different. I was exhausted, having stayed far too late all week and most especially the night before, and it shows. My balance suffered. My posture was crap. I wasn't able to keep my center/core firm. I was so tired that my knees felt like I was walking through water. I'm off the music in several places. (And of course there's that usual self-critical voice saying, " Christ-on-crutches is that really my butt ???") Now for the part you can't see - the reason this video is up here at all. The reason I don't truly regret Dennis recording it. What you can't see are the tears streaming down my face from the pure bliss of dancing...
