Re: [TANGO-L] V frame. VS. ARGENTINA'S WAY

["Ecsedy Áron" <aron @MILONGA.HU>]

Dear Listeros,

I've just checked all my tango pictures and I couldn't find a single one
in a 'parallel' position. Gavito's name was referred in some earlier
letter: I have a nice picture on him with his partner in a beautiful
v-shape.

I think we are having a communication problem here.

Some people probably thought that the 'v-shape' is something like a
ballroom promande position. Actually after some checking of poses, I
found that international tango IS parallel (but offset to the right),
but in argentine tango... (you must turn your head right or left to
accomodate the partners head - which requires quite a flexibility to do,
even without dancing, if your shoulders are completely parallel.)

Actually, I don't remember to have seen tango danced in true parallel.

I've sent some pictures to Carlos to demonstrate (taken in BsAs: one on
the street, one at a milonga, one at a performance by Gavito and one
with Balmaceda).

Check your photos and PLEASE send me some where I can see parallel
shoulders!

Thank you!

Cheers,
Aron
