Off to youtube to check it out, never heard it. @Johanna: Luckily, magic is not restricted to strangers :) I don't think great technical skill in itself stands in the way for good connection. If the technique is in place, it can be very liberating in the moment of dancing. It can also be used to create a barrier between you and your partner, and you have to choose which of it it will be. Methinks. Interesting that you bring in ego, because I am working on something that might turn into a post on that. We will see. @Limerick: Good one. Off to youtube to check it out, never heard it.

Perfection is not what happens after and eternity of practicing moves. It is what happens when two strangers meet and create magic.
