Adjusting for range
Funny how it keeps bringing me back to this venue.
I have an experience - it could theoretically apply to any dance, but I experience it most keenly in tango. Most opportunities since it's what I dance most? Finer observation from decades of experience? More intimate connection? Not sure of the cause, yet.
Regardless, there's always a feeling of acclimating to a new partner. But for some reason the second person with whom I dance usually invokes a feeling of "adjusting for range", if you will. Like... the first one was just remembering how dancing works, and the second one is recognizing that the general rules need to be specified to have a good dance with this new person.
