The Blanks

[Backdated]

When I was a younger dancer and being taught sequences I had a terrible habit of just going blank. This was because I knew what the sequence involved and thought I could let my mind wander. To use an example that involves bringing her to the cross and then lead something else. I would start off for the cross, let my mind wander, then suddenly find her in the cross wondering what it was I was to do next.

Because I avoid sequences as much as possible these days blanks haven’t been a problem. Until now. Now that I have two routines to rehearse the blanks are back.

Just another reason that I’m unlikely to do a rehearsed tango performance ever again.
