For a long time I always found I felt really 'off' about one week in four. As you practice more it matters less, but I think these things are always still there and we just have to find out how to overcome them by experiment. <br /><br />My practice partner meditates before he goes dancing. For me the process of dressing up and putting on makeup has a similar function, perhaps because I don't wear makeup to work.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-90272893250018295252011-06-01T09:47:29.639+01:002011-06-01T09:47:29.639+01:00Not having been doing this for very long, I notice...Not having been doing this for very long, I noticed that I'm not as balanced when my mind's distracted by other things and I feel more gauche and I noticed that when dancing with someone who was lovely to practice with two weeks ago, this time it was awkward and faltering and I could see he was slightly confused as to whyleetsyhttp://www.tangoadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-80645398639013058672011-05-31T09:35:15.460+01:002011-05-31T09:35:15.460+01:00Good thoughts.

I've noticed that bad days are my best days to get buzzed on tango, because I shut out the rest of the world to focus on my partner, my form and the music.

Usually, if you're so tired or stressed that the music hardly gets through to you you're better off staying at home, but if you really have to get on the floor magic can happen.<br /><br />Milongas that are rather more dance-oriented than party-oriented are very welcome, and we must be grateful to people who make them happen. Must say I've not noticed too many 'human-sized dragonflies' fluttering around (sounds rather sweet), but I've been aware too often of apparently larger than life-sized humans lurching at random in all directions, which I find anything but comical...Tangocommuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060601718946750364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-10910134906640051542011-05-30T18:18:32.592+01:002011-05-30T18:18:32.592+01:00I completely agree with you.
