Re: [TANGO-L] True tango and nuevo tango

[Larry Gmucs <gmucs @YAHOO.COM>]

I dance the style of Tango that I prefer, my partner
calls it Tango, and people watching call it Tango.  My
Tango is different now than it was last month, and
five years ago.  Years ago, I saw Tango dancers whom I
thought were very good.  They have not developed much
over the years, and now they are not very good.
Things need to change or they spoil.

If you're interested in performing a historically
accurate style of Tango as it was danced in 1935, or
in 1910, then there will be one True Tango: the one
that you are re-creating.  Fantasia or Nuevo would be
completely wrong.

If you want to dance the music, the true tango is the
one that's your own.
