STREETTANGO ADVENTURES USHUAIA Okt.2019

  • 5 years ago
After some wonderful dance experiences with 4 travelers from Sidney Australia,
an Argentinian lady points out that she would like to dance the last tanda with me.
Like the other Argentinians, she seemed to be avoiding me before, but now she seems to be interested in this fun I was having.

We connect but then she takes off by herself.

She seems to “perceive my spinal movement as an indication to start moving herself,” and decides to tell me how it should be done.
I feel disappointed as we could have had a lot of fun, exploring each other's differences.

Trying to joke about it, I ask her if this is a free lesson and she seriously confirms it's a gift from her to me and continues telling me what to do, so I change the embrace and invite her to lead me.
But she seems to think that I want her to show me how I should be leading her.

She seems to perceive our different styles as a mission for her to help me out, rather than an opportunity for learning herself, or at least to enjoy this difference.

But as this is just my perception, I am curious what she might have thought about me.

“I see a strange guy from the Netherlands, seemingly having a great time dancing tango.”
“I point out that I would like to dance the last tanda with him.”

“We connect but then he doesn't follow me when I take the initiative to move myself in the way his body was indicating before.”

“So I tell him I perceive his spinal movement as an indication to start moving myself and explain how he should position his body.”

“He seems to feel disappointed so I explain that I'm offering him a free lesson.”
“I tell him it's a gift from me and continue telling him what to do, so he changes the embrace and invites me to show him how he should lead me.”
“But then he seems to like my lead that much that he doesn’t want me to stop.”

“I feel confirmed once again that it helps being Argentinian in order to know what to do :-D”

Sharing the free pleasures of life without depending on money.
