Beautiful, Fernanda! I think that a silence, as the music calls for it, is the greatest gift we can give our partner and, as you describe it, can be the greatest gift a performing couple can give the audience. I once observed that a milonguero I danced with had respected some of the rhythmic silences in the music for the first time. He asked, "Did you like it?" I said, "It was as if you had given me a rose." Besos!
