FelipeH's Tango Story

In the last group class, when we were practicing hiro con boleo, Javier called me closer and said: "Fish, don't dance with brain, don't think. Dance with your heart."

In the end of the class, Gus ask: "what is a good tango?"
J/A: "I think it might as telling Fish just before. The problem of Fish and Massima. They were practicing together, very concentrated, steps well, hiro well, beleo well, all well... but they were thinking what to do, thinking how to do, but without heart... and dancing without heart is no good, it's horrible! Tango is not steps, not hiro, nor boleo. You got to dance with heart, dancing with heart -- then it is a good tango."

That night there was a milonga in Barbedo. Javier came to my desk with his wine. I took the chance to clear some doubt...
"I understand my problem. But how could I do if I can't feel another one's emotion? I mean, suppose in a milonga, I want to dance with someone so I invite her, and she agrees, I give her my all in the dance but can't feel her heart even have danced 2 songs. Then I feel I can't dance with heart anymore. How could we do in that situation?"
Javier answered very briefly: " Stop. Don't dance with her."
(I remind once in italy I tried to play steps with Helaine in milonga of Matteo/Patrica's workshop, she said directly:"dacing only yourself?" that time I was shocked... She is really a good teacher in Perugia, Umbria.)

In the moment Gus was dacing passing by, Javier made some noise to attract him.
Caterina(Cathy) joked: "You love him. I know you love him, and I am jealous."
(He didn't understand english very well, so I helped to translated it... of cause in italian...)
Javier replied in English: "Yes, I love him, and he loves me too. He is my son!"
All laughed... haha.
