With my involvement in Limerick does strictly come dancing I have had to do something that I haven’t before and that is rehearse.
And I really, really, don’t like it.
The spontaneity of tango means that I never know what I’m about to do next. I can go with the flow of the music and the floor.
Crafting a routine, however, is the inverse of that. All the creativity and spontaneity is at the start of the process and then gets locked out. I’m sure it might be different if both my partners and I were dancers but that’s not the case and the situation calls for a predetermined routine.
