I've had the good fortune of studying intensively with the two of them for 10 days - 6 days in Buenos Aires and 4 days in Atlanta. I was hoping for another 4 days next month but my partner fell through.<BR/><BR/>They are definitely maestros among mere mortal men and women of tango.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgnjOZxVsCw" REL="nofollow">Here</A> is some footage from the Atlanta workshop I attended.

It was the coolest thing, like being on a spinny fairground ride - the sheer velocity and momentum. I couldn't stop grinning. Had a similar thing with Chicho one time - when he offers you his arm, he really uses it, I just flew across the room. So cool! It's funny, because I don't like generally any kind of force in a lead, but this is different - no pushing, more like inviting you to get on a rollercoaster.<BR/><BR/>Boy, I'm name dropping today.<BR/><BR/>I learnt a lot in Gustavo's seminars. His understanding of the mechanics of leading and following is just incredible. And he's a very funny man, lots of really interesting stories. But, much as I admire Gustavo with my head, Chicho will always have my heart.Psychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278866207207171284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-23499654432121579562008-06-18T01:15:00.000+01:002008-06-18T01:15:00.000+01:00Wowser.
