4526  Sycopation problem ? (2)
Hey Jake, I don't really have a problem with syncopation. Its just more fun to do it than to write (or read) about. And none of us are going to transcribe, accurately, some little book of traspie variations...

4528  Double time (6)

4529  Can we please just dance? (9)
Arrghhh all this arguing about syncopation, doubletime, triple time, makes me crazy. Vals is the most difficult of the rhythms to dance simply because it changes rhythms and is not consistent. Once...

4530  Hay Que Aprenden Bailar and Syncopation (1)

4533  Embellishment Queens (7)
This happens because every so called Tango Diva that visits the U.S. and elsewhere teaches a workshop on adornments and embellishments for women. So women learn the brushes, the circles, the what...

Dear friends from tango list The taxi dancers activity in Buenos Aires , have changed from their initial activity of an escorting fee from outside the milonga dancing place to the inside of the dancing...

4535  A & B (1)
A. Adornos have nothing to do with recapturing your balance. They are a small figure that a woman can make. Sometimes the woman is to stand still while the man adorns his dance and before they...

4536  Dancer profile in Buenos Aires (13)
