I’d read the book years ago – it’s EXCELLENT!

Synergy is when the sum of all parts create a better, bigger, more efficient effect than individual parts could produce on their own.

I have heard of this book but never read it. Looking forward to finding out how it applies to tango. What does synergize mean?

I find myself “cycling” in and out of phases myself, but I’ve never heard labels for them like you mentioned. Can you elaborate some more… I’d like to think about that for a split second

Great comment!

Nice……

That “plateau” is for many I talked too (incl. myself) a cyclical thing. Homer Ladas explains it very well with teh three stages of the tango cycle: student – ego- apathy. It is a matter of reducing ego and apathy as much as possible. My students phases are shorter, my ego phases last a couple of hours and my apahty phases are getting longer…. Maybe there is then an even larger cycle….

I look forward to these posts! I’ve read his books and while I flinch at the words paradigm and synergy – there’s definitely value to what he’s written.
