"always dance who you are...learning ones rhythm and adjusting it to the
specific milango is all.

Let's analyze the above paragraph.

"Always dance who you are". You should not attempt to dance imitating other
people or instructors, for your personality will come to the surface as you
dance, therefore it is in vain that you may attempt to dance "who you are
not". This is very true. If you study some people you will see that when
they dance they project a different personality than the one they exhibit in
their daily life routine.
We should assume that the "real" personality is the one shown during the
dance when the super control of the brain cortex is obviated by the high
concentration in the dance.

"...learning ones rhythm and adjusting it to the specific milango is all. "

We all eventually develop a "form of dancing" "a style" that is very
personal, a real manifestation of our personality . We should coordinate
this personal form of dancing with the specific milango and this is all. We
do not change the style according to the music we just adjust to it the same
way as we adjust to the space available and to our partner, etc.

I could continue with the present analysis and even more, analyze Herve's
other notes, which are all very interesting and full of wisdom but this
reminds me of Peter Sellers master piece "Being there" (in Spanish "Desde
el Jardin").

Have a good day.

Work like you don t need the money, love like you ve

Sergio,
Thanks. I'll have to look up the Sellers piece you
mentioned.

There's a big difference between nonsense and
incoherence. I often find nonsense very entertaining.
