"Anonymous. You write such garbage its not worth dicussing any more."

Pointing out your collasal error in confusing body rotation with body flight is hardly garbage.

But yes, it's clearly not worth discussing anything with someone incapable of learning beyond their present beginner level.

"Anonymous. Exactly what is body flight.

Carrying enough energy of movement in the body that you will, with no further action, drift completely through the step you are currently taking and on into at least one additional step in the same direction.

To avoid taking that additional step, you would need to rise and absorb the energy to a momentary stop (waltz), rise somewhat and redirect in a somewhat new direction (foxtrot), or push against the floor in a braking/checking action.

Unique among the standard dances, tango does not have body flight.

Anonymous. Now wait a minute, Didn't you say there was no stop in the Waltz. Now your saying there is. Wouldn't it have been better to mention sway as a way of channelling the energy into a different direction, which is in this case up and over.
