There are a great number of other aspects
The skill
differences have an impact on our tanda but these issues are difficult
to discuss. I like figures/numbers and math so the idea here is formed
as a calculation! I suggest that both dancers have a maximum number of
resources to offer the partner for building up the enjoyment. Lets set
it here as 10. The maximum enjoyment value for a dancing couple is then
limited to 20 during a tanda. That's the ultimate heaven!
If you
are an experienced leader, well trained in technique the scores get
nicely up. We say that this leader has an estimated score value 7 so he
can give a beginner follower an enjoyable tanda of 8, (7+1). If this
leader is able to relax and smoothly lead a follower he can maybe offer a
good tanda to a partner at the highest level, a fully developed
follower at 10. The enjoyment will hit the 17 bar for this couple!
On
the internet and the talks around the pista are continuously
complaining about the leader skill levels. There are also followers who
have a strategy not to pay for their learning. They expect that the
leaders will for free teach them all they need to know for the local
pista. They are also totally confident to tell the leaders about this. I
suppose that this drives followers to chase tandas with leaders a lot
of levels above their own. It's because this maximizes the learning, the
enjoyment!
I wrote earlier about the training needed to stabilize
and make your tango movements, forms strong and endurable. This was and
is the advantage of dancing with partners at different skill levels.
Keep in mind that your skill level is always depending on your own
personal effort. You work with your technique at home, you take lessons
and get experienced by hundreds of hours at the pista. You maybe get
your skill very easily, by a few hours, compared with me who needs
countless hours to get some progress. But a dancer needs profound,
personal own skill to contribute, a way to add your personality to a
tanda.
You never get to the highest heaven by riding only on the
partner's skill but you need to develop and offer your own stable and
independent skill and personality to the tanda.
