This kind of negative energy is what drives newcomers away from tango.> Howard Fox's reply to my disparaging comments re "nuevo tango" included in my post about Osvaldo Zotto made me realize that they are indeed opinions and should not be added to that type of posting. However I would like to add that I do not consider classic Argentine salon tango to be a faction. The dancing of Osvaldo Zotto extends from a tradition going back to his master, Antonio Todaro and others which is seen in the quality of movement and execution. This can also be seen in the dancing of Juan Carlos Copes or in Carlos Copello or Alicia Monti and has more in common with that tradition than much of the dancing of many of the newer performers. Much of the new dancing that is being taught is more about performance and would be very difficult to do in a milonga anyway. Unfortunately as a teacher I see very negative aspects of that dancing in the milongas in that many students want to do exactly that - perform, instead of respecting the traffic on the floor. This is no doubt the fault of teachers who do not properly emphasize etiquette and floor craft but it is also a product of performance steps (read - exaggerated movements) being taught instead of salon tango. The classic tango evolved from the milongas, not the stage performances. "Rock & Roll", "Heavy Metal", "Milonguero" styles of tango- if anything, these are the stylistic factions that have sprung up. I also do not subscribe to the idea that accepting any type of tango as long as it makes you feel good to do it means you are doing it well or correctly. I accept that I am traditional and a purist and I stand by my comment regarding the new tango. But I will refrain from adding opinions such as these to postings regarding workshops or the like and will instead post them in other forums. Respectfully, Charles Roques
