@@silviamezzasoma Oh yes !!! thank you !! Your videos are so cristal clear. They inspire me very much. In the past I was scared, but you showed so clearly every detail of how to do it and the mistakes we ended up making. Thank you so much. And above all, your heart is beautiful for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Thank you once again. 🥰

@@claudialousada7905 Aaawwww!!!!! That’s soooo lovely!!! ❤️🥰❤️ It is the dancers like you that inspire and motivate me to make these videos. Each video is a lot of time (that i struggle to find 😅) and effort. But when I receive comments like yours it is such a big reward that motivates me to keep sharing!

I appreciate your videos very much! Could you explain to me when we use dissociation with the aperture of the body rather than the other way?

[@silviamezzasoma]

Hi Joanna, thank you very much for your comment! 🙏🏻 It is not trivial to reply in writing (much easier to show and talk) but I am going to try. I assume you are a follower so I am going to focus on follower's steps. If you would also like to have examples for the leader just let me know ☺️ First of all it is important to realise that we continuously pass from one dissociation to the other. For examples, if the leader walks on your side, depending on with which leg you take the step, you are dissociated with the aperture of the body or the closure of the body. For example, if the leader walks on your right side, your upper body is always dissociated towards your right. When you step backward with the left leg you are dissociated with the closure of the body, when you step backward with the right leg you are dissociated with the aperture of the body. With this in mind, if you consider the step right before the lady's cross, this is always dissociation with aperture of the body. Other examples are barridas (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJTRiYWhrbd9acU) and ganchos (kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHPCZKN6h65gfLc), where you switch from one dissociation to the other. To try and give you more examples during the dance, I have checked this performance from Mariana and Sebastian (which I like very much 😊) kzbin.info/www/bejne/epPWc5pjetBobdE and I have noted down some clear moments where Mariana uses the dissociation with aperture of the body. Have a look at: 0:34 1:44 2:07 2:55 2:57 I hope this was clear enough and helpful! 🤗

@@silviamezzasoma thank you so much. I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond so clearly. That is super helpful! I wish we lived closer to each other so I could take lessons from you!!

[@silviamezzasoma]

@@joannak242 my pleasure! 😊 I am really glad when I can help tangueros improving so that they can enjoy more their dances 😊💃🏼 I am always available to travel to give workshops (when someone is willing to organise them 😋) and otherwise if you pass by The Netherlands come and visit me! 🤗

Very good exercises! However it would help to see you also from behind. For beginners it's difficult to change everything in their heads.

[@silviamezzasoma]

Thank you very much for the comment and the suggestion 🙏🏻 I will keep it in mind and see what I can do for the next videos! 😊

Just a comment from an English teacher: "improve the success of sth." sounds rather strange. Much better would be: Improve your tango dissociation.

[@silviamezzasoma]

Hi Jochen, thank you very much for your suggestion. When I came up with this title what I meant was "increase the probability that the outcome of your dissociation (e.g. a sacada, a pivot, a turn, etc.) is a success". Squeezing this in few words was not that easy for a not native speaker 😋
