For those who haven't read the thread on the general dance article or who haven't heard the term before, quick definition from Wiki "Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity."
That's too textbook though to describe the tango feeling, yes, you're totally absorbed but it's quite special when both of you are absorbed and one with each other and the music. Sigh. Had forgotten what it was like. Not experienced it for a LONG time but it happened again this weekend. Previously it was with a particular leader and he moved away so I only danced with him a few times but each time we were both speechless and in a bit of a dream after a tanda. Very nice. So anyway, I'm curious what other dancer's experience of this is - do you have it often? Is it only to particular music or with particular partners?
По ссылке вы найдете очень интересные мнения по поводу особого состояния (туннельное видение, пребывание в зоне и т.д.), которое некоторые из нас испытывают во время танца, и о котором остальные имеют шанс прочитать здесь :)

Pete And Dud Talk Tango
Act Two
Pete: Well Dud; as a musician, which of the tango orchestras gains your favour.
Dud: For me, the arrangements of Tanturi coupled with the velvety voice of Enrique Campos are the epitome of good dance music. No other singer can convey emotion coupled with a sonorous rendition. Foe me he is the Bing Crosby of the tango world; not just beautiful to the ear but like drinking a really good cup of Espresso. The music has been steamed out under high temperature and the result is rich tasting and dark and smooth. What about you Pete?
Pete: Give me Pugliese every time. He is the Jimi Hendrix of the Bandoneon. He makes the instrument sound like the human voice. a human voice with passion and drama; His rendition of La Yumba captures every other tango song ever played with a bandoneon.
Dud: he was a pianist Pete.
Pete: that makes his genius even more extraordinary. Only someone with such vision could make an instrument he wasnt playing sound so evocative. When I hear Galla Ciego or Negracha I am aroused to a state of passion that is rarely experienced outside cloistered religious institutions.
If Tanturi and Campos are the best coffee of tango, then Pugliese is the Mescaline of tango. When I hear his music it transports to an altered state where I lose myself. I am no longer conscious of there being a me and a partner or that I am in a room full of people; there is only music and movement. I am no longer responsible for my actions when Pugliese is played.
Dud: Is that why you bump into so many people then?
Pete: quite possibly, Dud, quite possibly.

Ney Melo & Jennifer Bratt "La Bruja"
Посмотрите как мало места они используют для танца, и тем не менее замечательно выражают музыку и своё отношение к ней.

Lovely, just the training we Americans need - how to dance in small spaces. Tango instructors in the US need to train dancers, as these two do so well, to dance in the tiny space that's available on the average BA dance floor.

I entirely agree with you :)
Last week we were at a crowded milonga with small dance floor, but there were tons of stupid stage dancers(without any posture cos they're not real show dancers) who thought they were obliged to do thousand steps to show their skills to the audience around... very unpleasant and very difficult to protect your partner from getting a kick on the leg
