[TANGO-L] Community Growth - The Next Generation

[Bugs Bunny <bugsbunny1959 @HOTMAIL.COM>]

I just got home from a Portland Swing Club dance (West Coast Swing, Hustle,
Night Club 2step & Cha-Cha). In the mid-90s the swing music was
predominantly Blues &/or R&B. Now that genre is a minority of the music,
much of it replaced by music of the next generation of young swing dancers.
Lots of young dancers from our local colleges/universities.

Suppose the next generation of young Tango dancers, worldwide, start
applying pressure for changes in music at dances, that speaks to them. For
the sake of this argument, the music will have a clear beat, that anyone can
dance to. It could be modern Tango music or alternative Tango music. Is
there a way to address that issue, without sending them somewhere else to
dance? I imagine this sort of thing has being going on, from generation to
generation, for as long as humans have been around. Those darn kids... :o)
