[TANGO-L] Nuevo vs. Milonguero

[robin thomas <niborsamoht @YAHOO.COM>]

hi brian!
hoping above all hopes that this doesn't start a
boring debate about what is and isn't milonguero.
i don't think milonguero is static. every time susana
miller comes to visit she teaches steps that are now
in fashion amongst the old guys. they're still making
up new stuff. she's not researching into the past.
she's teaching what a bunch of old guys are doing
right now in places like el beso.
in ann arbor (whatever style you want to call the way
they dance) i'm sure you would feel pretty comfy. it's
a young (younger than us)and funky crowd, they dance a
lot to d'arienzo and tic-tic-tic music but to all
kinds of alternative stuff too. they just like to
dance close and in the line of dance without hurting
other people. it's more about hugging to music than it
is about preserving any tradition or trying to be
authentic.
