In the classes with Nora it was a lot of posture, balance and walking.. walking in the three lines, learning to walk in squares mostly out from or walking up to the cross.. and then ochos...and ocho cortado.. Nora is from the more traditional milonguero school.
Then I decided to test another place for privare lessons.. in fact to dance MORE..Tango piola, placed a couple of blocks from my appartment. Runned by Christian (in the picture) and a friend of him. So after having danced two songs for him ... it became "walking" with Christian as well.. and with him the 4lines, two on each side.. and he put emphasis on being able to cut the walk, "rethink-change of mind" according to what space you have on the floor in the milonga.. .. Its interesting with two different teachers.. Nora more the classic school.. Christian more Nuevo tango even if Im just doing basics with him right now..
And then, with Christian... my follower, the lovely Rocio.. I have never understood guys around me explaing how marvelous it is to drive a Porche or a Ferrari (maybe because I have never done..) but when I met Rocio.. I understood!.. notwenty something and has danced tango in more then ten years.. and in my hands.. at least for an hour .. a couple of times every week...
Christian travels to Europe from time to time for classes group or private.. you can find his webpage on - http://www.tangopiola.com/
