1. SHI-DANCER understands autenthicity as the following of its unique individuality, which emanates from the heart, but not to mode or to public.
2. SHI-DANCER attempts to converse with itself, by partner and by environment through the heart, but not the mind.
3. SHI-DANCER dances in the state of meditations, ⅰ.e., in the relaxation, to keep totaly watch over, in the totaly observation and in acceptance without nondivision, such as to hear heart.
4. SHI-DANCER to listens music by ears, but it to hears by its heart, but not by mind. They to forgets now itself as ego.
5. SHI-DANCER, hearing music by heart and of its unique individuality to follows dance.
6. SHI-DANCER is approached now each moment spontaneous to responses to itself, partner and environment at the level of hearts. Now too hearts to fuses into one whole. Now one internal dance is on too appears.
7. Bodys visualises now not only rhythm and phrasing of musics, but also its tunefulness, overtones, dynamics and polyphony. In the motion of bodies it is possible to see impulsiveness, plasticity, softness, liquidity and continuity, uncommon figures and the sequence…
8. In the dance of SHI-DANCERS not to see show, demonstrativeness, making, overcoming, achievement… They are totaly absorbed in dance, moves freely and easily, as if playing.
9. In the dance of SHI-DANCERS are visible attentiveness and love for the partner.
10. Dance does not strain SHI-DANCERS. Their respiration remains inaudible and calm.

Here’s a video of Sebastian Arce and Mariana Montes dancing in Holland at „Ultimo Tango Festival 2000“. Yes, this was in 2000! Luckily someone filmed it and posted the video just now, check it out:

and now zoom to the end of 2006, Amsterdam and „Tangomagia“: Same dancers, different music and see how their style has evolved! (and Sebastian’s hair has grown ;) )

…are fighting with musicality? Ⅰ don’t really know what is going on here, but Ⅰ have seen Sebastian and Mariana do amazing stuff, and they usually have great musicality in my eyes. But this video is less than what Ⅰ expect.

But: is it because Ⅰ don’t really get the song? It is great to listen to, but for dancing — something is missing for me. Is this why Ⅰ don’t see the performance Ⅰ would expect from the couple?

What do you say?

It is a whole world in a Master’s dance. It has depth, it is multidimensional, multilevel, cross-connected in time, space, and sense, developing, contrasting, balanced, and integral. And soulful. If you watch a dance of not masters – you have feeling that you’ve seen it all. Oh, yet another one. Want-to-look-like-Masters adorn like crazy, boleo wide. And this is it. That is not what counts.


>Unfortunately, often Masters do not care about being recognized as Masters.


>Happy are warriors: it is easy for them to find who is the best: one slash of a Master, and not-Masters lay down dead. It is not like that in dancing..


>It is difficult to recognize a Master. If you are not a Master yourself.
