Could be. "Over-decorating", nice term, that

I think my experience of salsa dancing helped here - some women salsa dancers go shine-crazy, and I know enough to just let them get on with it (and, frankly, to remember not to ask them again).

Don't get me wrong, this lady was great, and the dance was fantastic - the fact that I can remember it, and that I'm analysing it now, speaks volumes for how intense the AT experience is. And frustrating, of course

It's figuring out when she's stopped playing, basically. That's a real weakness in all my dance forms, I'm afraid

By the way, I found this Tango Wiki (another Wiki, ) - people might find it useful, the glossary is good I think.

JonD, I think you posted a set of Tango links a while back, could you maybe repost them in this thread?
