Return to Singapore 1995

Argentine tango is like football, fierce, tough, passionate, elegant and romantic. It always ushered in reconciliation or climax in the most tense restrictions, provocations and conflicts. The unique rhythm and rhythm are exciting.

The unique hugging method between partners in Argentine tango dance made Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi very close.

In fact, when this dance was designed, it was to allow male and female partners to hug each other like lovers.

Now, Tang Xinyi and Li Xiaofan have the feeling of warmth from each other's bodies.

Dancing in Li Xiaofan's arms, Tang Xinyi really enjoyed the joy of this dance for the first time!

Li Xiaofan's strong chest muscles, youthful body fragrance, and light tobacco smell...

Under the catalysis of music and dance, everything about Li Xiaofan seemed to fascinate her...

When the dance ended, Tang Xinyi reluctantly left Li Xiaofan's arms, as if she had just ended a short passionate love.

After the first song "One Step Away" ended, the dance teacher made a brief comment and gave a very high evaluation to the combination of Tang Xinyi and Li Xiaofan!

The second song "El Choclo" is also a very famous Argentine tango dance. The Chinese meaning of El Choclo is corn cobs or tender corn. In addition to the intoxicating timbre and the magical theme melody, the glissando and fast patterns in the middle part of this tango dance add a unique color to the music, revealing the exquisite and lingering mood of Argentine tango.

Before the music and dance of "El Choclo" sounded, Li Xiaofan was invited away by Lisa.

Tang Xinyi had to pair up with Xiaomei. It always felt a bit awkward for girls to dance this romantic dance together.

Watching Li Xiaofan and Lisa dancing intimately on the side, Tang Xinyi's chest was inexplicably filled with a strong sense of jealousy.

Before the third song started, Li Xiaofan was immediately booked by several female students in the class, and Tang Xinyi felt disappointed again...

Till the end of this class, Tang Xinyi was not able to dance with Li Xiaofan again. Li Xiaofan was too popular. On the one hand, there were too few boys in the class, and on the other hand, Li Xiaofan's leading made the girls feel very comfortable and praised by everyone.

After the short one and a half hour training course, because Lisa lived in Bedok, in the same direction as Li Xiaofan, she originally discussed taking a taxi home with Li Xiaofan.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xinyi said: "Lisa, go back by yourself, I still have some work to discuss with Brother Xiaofan!"

Lisa had to say: "Okay, Xinyi, I'll take a taxi first! Ah Fan, I'm very happy to meet you tonight! Everyone, 88!"

Because of the material conditions of her family, Tang Xinyi rarely competed with others for anything since she was a child.

"Xinyi, is there anything else?" Li Xiaofan asked after Lisa and Ah Mei left.

Xinyi pouted and said, "It's really boring tonight. You are the dance partner I brought, but you have been occupied by someone else! Brother Xiaofan, I want you to continue teaching me to dance tango!"

"Ah? It's so late, where are we going to dance?"

"Let's go to the East Coast! I have a small recorder and dance cassettes in my car, which can play dance music!"

"Oh, okay..." Li Xiaofan couldn't refuse the invitation of the little princess of the Tang family.

It's not far from the dance studio to the East Coast Park. Especially at this time, the traffic volume has been reduced a lot. Tang Xinyi drove to it in more than ten minutes.

At more than ten o'clock in the evening, the East Coast Park was gradually sparsely populated. Tang Xinyi found a quiet and secluded corner on the beach next to the coconut grove by the sea.

After the small recorder played the classic tango music "One Step Away" again, Li Xiaofan hugged Tang Xinyi and began to dance gracefully.

The posture between partners in Argentine tango is hugging, but it is also divided into "open hug" and "closed hug".

In the "open hug", the two people lead and follow through the connection between their hands and arms. The upper bodies of the partners do not touch each other, leaving a certain space to leave the necessary space for some specific dance steps and movements.

The open hug is generally suitable for relatively fast movements such as circular rotation, or when the boy needs to do some fancy dance steps during the rotation, and in some dance steps that need to break the face-to-face hug between the two people, such as the back-stepping movement.

In the "closed hug", the upper bodies of the partners touch each other, and the boy leads and follows through the frame composed of the upper body, arms and hands.

In the "closed hug", the boy often only uses the upper body to lead, and the two arms are like the extension of the upper body, which plays the role of maintaining the body frame. The boy is like a picture frame and green leaves, allowing the female partner to become the red flower and the protagonist, and perform and bloom to the fullest.

In the practice and dance of Argentine tango dance, the hugging posture between male and female partners is not fixed, but changes at any time with the changes in music and dance steps, the height and body shape of the other partner, and personal mood changes.

So even the same male and female partners can adopt different hugging styles in the same tango music.

At night, on the romantic coconut beach, at the beginning, Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi's hug kept switching between "open hug" and "closed hug" as the music and dance steps changed.

I don’t know when it started, Tang Xinyi was too lazy to cooperate with Li Xiaofan’s “open hug” lead, and the only thing left between the two of them was the intimate “closed hug”…

In the initial closed hug, Tang Xinyi’s left hand movement was still very standard, wrapping around Li Xiaofan’s shoulders and placing it above Li Xiaofan’s right shoulder like a clothes hook.

But in the end, she lazily simply wrapped her hand around Li Xiaofan’s neck, because now there was no teacher watching her, she only needed to follow Li Xiaofan’s dance steps, enjoy the music and Li Xiaofan’s hug, and basically didn’t need her left hand to participate too much.

At the beginning, Li Xiaofan’s right hand was on the right half of Tang Xinyi’s back, and in the end, because Tang Xinyi’s body was getting closer and closer, his right hand could only wrap around her entire back to support her entire body.

In this way, the upper bodies of the two people really became seamlessly in contact, tightly stuck together, as if they were one.

Beside the coconut grove, on the beach, the moonlight sprinkled like water on the two young people who were hugging each other tightly.

At this moment, Tang Xinyi felt as if she was intoxicated and dizzy as Li Xiaofan held her tightly in his arms and danced slowly and gracefully. At that moment, it seemed as if Li Xiaofan belonged to her from the inside out, and no one could snatch him away from her!
