Randomness

Today I found myself trying to teach some of the basic moves we learned in the early classes to my friend! I though to myself what am I doing trying to teach someone when I can hardly to it myself, but then I realized it was actually pretty helpful for myself as well. As I was walking her through the steps I found my self trying to explain it to her without being to abstract. this turned out to really help me understand how to move as well. It felt really free to dance with someone who didn't really know Tango, I felt like no one would judge me or laugh if I messed a step up :). It was also really cool to see that my body communication was getting better and I was able to lead her to do things with out telling her much, just simply letting my chest do the talking. In a way this is me experiencing some of the cultural wealth that I am getting from Tango, teaching others, even if it is basic steps, or just the fact that you can dance Tango, is seen as a valuable skill in the social world.
