Emotional Dancing

I know this is rather soon to be posting again, but I wanted to put this up before I forgot. I went to Helen Beedle's piano recital today, and a few of the songs had dances choreographed to them in the style of social dancing. Watching the dancers do an Argentine Tango, I actually somewhat understood the objections that I've been reading so much about lately. This is not to say that I agree with the objections (I vehemently do not), but the Argentine Tango is an extremely sensual dance, which goes against everything that the Reverend Straton and so many others believed in. It was interesting to me to see the difference between the Tango and a Waltz that was performed as well; while both were beautiful and romantic, they expressed themselves so very differently. The Waltz spoke of companionship and time spent together, where the Tango expressed a passion that is often associated with the first blush of a romance. Both seem so different from modern dancing, which seem more about the lust than the emotional attachment. I'm not sure what this says about changes in society, but it is at least an interesting contrast.
