He sits at the computer and watches Marcela Duran on YouTube.
He had the real and lovely Marcela in his arms on Saturday in NYC and the dancing was passionate but simple. We all cried at some point during the hour. There was no "step".
This is and was the tango that Gavito described below.
Un tal Gavito
"If I could suggest a theme for our walk it would be : Tango es entre paso y paso. Tango is between one step and the next. Steps are not tango, steps are memory and choreography. Tango can never be in the things that are said. It is in the improvisation. The steps learned in dance schools are not improvisation, they are choreography. Small choreographies, brief ones. Then you learn how to connect one figure to another but one thing is still missing – tango. There is no step."
