I know you mentioned practising isolations in the car in another article. Amazing to see both of their talents in using their bodies to express themselves and play and match the music.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04573137046265740883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489977357310651356.post-48436262165506201312007-06-25T08:36:00.000-07:002007-06-25T08:36:00.000-07:00Musicality is the tougher gig and there are two major phases: Knowing <B>about</B> the music, then knowing what to do <B>with</B> the music.<BR/><BR/>The first thing is awareness, and I'm working on some articles that outline different aspects of the music.Don Baarns - Unlikely Salserohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06312061855724975322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489977357310651356.post-68979408499867049412007-06-25T00:08:00.000-07:002007-06-25T00:08:00.000-07:00That would be nice - a sample of you teaching would be great, too, I still wonder how you'd teach musicality for dancers...Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14281700688625609469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489977357310651356.post-55467376103001548522007-06-23T19:53:00.000-07:002007-06-23T19:53:00.000-07:00Hmmm... I don't even have anything recent I could post. I will be in Palm Springs late July and I should film something when I'm social dancing with Edie and/or others.<BR/><BR/>While I take some jazz classes, those are primarily for building solid fundimentals like balance, control, core strength and spinning. (Remember: Musicians don't dance, I'm working to be the exception to that rule.) <BR/><BR/>Most of those skills don't show until you've done them a few years, then they allow you to advance very, very quickly.<BR/><BR/>I'm still a very immature dance student in terms of the jazz routines so unless you are looking for comic relief, I'll avoid letting those hit the net anytime soon.<BR/><BR/>One of the strange things is being a very advanced musician, I intellectually know more about dancing than most because of the parallels between the two.<BR/><BR/>Knowing the concepts still means I have years of effort to put everything together. I'm a major work in progress but I'll get a video together this summer.<BR/><BR/>There are currently so many guys who dance better than me, you won't miss my video at this point. That said, I'll get something up ASAP so I can provide hope for many others.Don Baarns - Unlikely Salserohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06312061855724975322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489977357310651356.post-79446954791965596972007-06-23T11:35:00.000-07:002007-06-23T11:35:00.000-07:00Me too!
