Observations of a dancer
August 11, 2001
It's so amazing to see this life of ballroom dancing. The energy seems everlasting. In the waltz, I feel there should be the illusion of the couple floating, gliding across the floor. It's so important to have an enjoyable expression on the face. To just let yourself melt in the music and the movements with your partner. I often imagine myself waltzing and I hate how when I attempt to, I can't fulfill me in that imagination. It's like with piano and desire to make my fingers glide across the keys and have that prelude flow out of them. I suppose it's the same with tango, ballet and probably all other types of dance. In tango, I imagine something along lines of Spanish darkness. The Paso Doble also reminds me of Spanish bull fights. I recall these moments when watching the bull fights on TV in Spain. What vivacity! Same here, except here, it's important to maintain that while dancing. I think many people's "fire" fades and/or fluctuates throughout the comp.
Here are some pictures.
