A Tango cannot be danced as it should be danced if there is any space between the partnership. The mans right palm should be on the ladies spine which if we are miles apart will not be possible.

To dance correctly whether it be Tango or any of the other Modern Ballroom Dances
the positioning of the bodies is very close. There lies the problem between Social Dancing and Competition Dancing. No problem if in Social dancing the pair know each other very well and have attended classes. But if they are complete strangers. Need I say more. Those two sections mentioned are worlds apart. Ladies Social or not... keep your head looking to your left unless the step is going to be in Promenade.

Hi Peter
Thank you for the information about joyce hayward
I met Joyce many years ago at Sherry's ballroom in brighton but lost touch - I am sorry to hear of her passing as I always intended to try and find out what happened to her when she retired from professional dancing - I would be grateful if you have any information that would be of interest to me -such as returning to ballroom etc.
Sorry to have been so long replying to your message - I am not very computer literate.

I am so sorry to hear of Joyce haywards death so long ago. I used to teach at her studio in Harrow and often wonder about everybody and how their lives are. I would love to hear from anybody who was around then and to know if they still dance!

Joyce Haywood retired from competition dancing and retired as she was about to be married.
I only met her once at her fathers studio in Harrow. I did see her many times competing with Sonny Binick the last time in 1953
