Back to Gavito

The secret of tango is in this moment of improvisation that happens between step and step. It is to make the impossible thing possible: to dance silence.
CARLOS GAVITO



Mike is dancing the "silence". He takes his favorite Gavito steps and repeats each sequence 3 times. Not something for the dance floor or milonga, but an exercise for us in pausing, balance and keeping the axis until he is ready to move again. I love the 3 videos, the names of the moves and  I watch my favorites over and over. This month we practice Gavito before we pack for another 6 weeks on Calle Florida where the real tango awaits.
