Re: [TANGO-L] Cabeceo

[astrid <astrid @RUBY.PLALA.OR.JP>]

Oscar Mandagaran (Forever Tango) is here in Tokyo, and recently, at one
point of his class, he uses me to demonstrate the cabeceo. He stands at the
head of the row of men, I stand in the row of women at the other side of the
floor (the floor is not that big), and a twinkle appears in his eye, when he
looks at me. It meets a twinkle in my eye, and both our faces slowly start
showing a flirtatious grin. Then he points with his head at the floor, which
I answer with a wink, or another slight move of the head. Latest by this
point a number of students are emitting pearls of laughter, and the whole
group is smiling with amusement, some comments are heard like: "Look at
those two !" "Did you see that ?"
Always great fun.
Esp. in Japan, where it is "polite" NOT to make eye contact !
