An early female leader

Fabiano Sharna is a longtime female leader who started among the first female leaders in the world to lead in public!

Here some of the thoughts she want to share with us others

. . . report greater satisfaction with their overall social tango experience when they share learning and dancing time with other women.

. . . Beyond my own story, though, one of the biggest reasons I continue to offer events for women is simply to keep them dancing! I want tango to be healthy and inspiring for women and the truth is that it is not always that.

. . . Because when women DO stay involved for the long haul, and find ways to enjoy tango on their own terms, everyone wins! The community as a whole grows stronger and benefits both from their dancing skills and also from a multitude of creative contributions that range from DJ-ing to dressmaking.

She has been working on these aspects for a long time. Here her thoughts from 2011

Uneven lovely dance - is hard compensation

"If we are dependent on having a “good partner”, then we aren’t actually very good dancers."

This was the essence of the blog linked below!

When you are only dancing with partners who are vigorously compensating your low skill level to keep the dance going on you are developing a wrong image about your skill. You probably are not working on the most severe problems in your technique because you are not aware of them, you newer meet your devils.

I still think that the BEST COMBO is when the partners are about at the same level!

Demography of some BA milongas

I do not know the origin of this graph but it is fun to check and as I see it has some real relevance!

To predict a break up of your tango group

It seems that there is quite concrete way to find out if a group has reach a stage when a polarization of the group will split the it to two parts. When I was aware of this mechanism I became more calm and the split was easier to accept.

Mathematical analysis of the break point for a group. Read it because it could do your day some easier too!

This article points out that the dynamics for groups and relationships seems to have different mechanisms. For groups the high number of shared connections is good but for relationship more separated friendship clusters are stabilizing the couple.
