Tango Mango

IT take two to tango. Unless of course you prefer dancing alone with no music in the background. Swaying, gyrating and grooving is meant to be a one person's ordeal not to be shared with anyone whose movements might be complementary to you. It is after all dance, simple physics. Action, reaction. Action, reaction. Newton's laws of motion.

Now, when you do dance you take steps forward, as though to make approaches then you take step backwards in reciprocation of him/her taking a step forward. There is no way you could ignore the uneasy distance between both of you should you guys decide to repel and take steps backwards at the same time or the bump on your heads when you do collide after taking steps forwards.

Its easy when you understand your partner. If he takes a step forward, you step back and vice versa. The problem is when you THINK you know your partner but miscalculated his next move. Thats when it gets all confusing and everyone should just pop E and start head banging to techno. Is he stepping up or is he stepping back? Up or back? Is it possible to be both? What if he had a moment's hesitation? This is all under the assumption of ceteris paribus..

Dance is about communication and decisiveness. Decide then execute the move. Don't be a nonya and deliberate too long. You might miss the best bits of the music standing still.
