Re: [TANGO-L] Elusive Nuevo style

Oleh, I didn't mean that you don't recognize Nuevo dancers on the
dance floor. Any good and innovative tango dancer is Tango Nuevo
dancer in my eyes. i forgot to mention that Tango Nuevo will be most
affordable tango style to learn, unfortunately at the moment this is
opposite.

What is "leader's blind spot syndrome?" Oleh asked;this is issue
related to Dance floor management skills.
I call this as syndrome because leaders get frustrated about it, and
their instructors limit them.
as you know in close embrace, leader's right side is due to his/her
partner creates blindspot. Therefore, if you are dancing close embrace
you-leader don't see your right side, so everybody uses their left
side to step. If you ask many tango instructors, they will say NO!
don't go that side! it's blindspot.I'm not saying that there is NO
blins spot, however i say that leaders can control it. ( But How?, you
have to be innovative, Welcome to Tango Nuevo systems)

If somebody is left-handed why do they have to dance as right handed
people? what are the guidelines for that?
you can ask numerous questions to yourself in Tango Nuevo, and seek
for the answers.
Unknowns of Tango Nuevo systems:
- Tango Nuevo systems still primitive on some concepts such as milonga.
 I don't know anybody who has Nuevo milonga dancing methodology.
Mostly Tango Nuevo concepts fit to Tango and Vals wvery well , but
what about milonga? (after my message some people hopefully will start
working on this issue)

- dance floor managament skills such as Formation of tango nuevo
"ronda" awareness.
- narrowminded musicality issues, (Tango Nuevo= Alternative Tangos)
Why this is NOT true? Tango Nuevo doesn't require particular type of
Tango music, however many Tango Nuevo dancers prefer alternative songs
to dance Nuevo. This problem may lead lack of tango musicality among
Tango Nuevo dancers. This must be avoided.
- Earlier i said Tango Nuevo  systems became Tango dance style due to
denial and anger from other tango dancers. Meanwhile, Tango Nuevo
dancers creeated their identity not only by the way they dance but
also by changing their tango dance outfit. Ballroom shoes replaced
with dance sneakers, slick skirts and pants transformed into baggy
pants, funky outfit The holy colors (red-black) of traditional Tango
disappeared. The first beloved color of Tango, orange, came back to
power along with many other vivid colors.  These elements that Tango
Nuevo dancers present DON"T mean they are dancing Tango Nuevo of
course. This must NOT be an isolation issue among tango dancers at
all.
