[Tango-L] Corte & quebrada

["TangoDC.com" <spatz@tangoDC.com>]

Dear listees,

This discussion of the corte has been somewhat interesting, and I'm 
wondering if anyone with a deep knowledge of tango tradition (Sergio 
perhaps? Manuel?) can explain the difference between "corte" and 
"quebrada." My hunch is that the first is a general term for any frozen 
step, whether it's done with a similar event in the music or not; 
whereas "quebrada" refers more to some kind of break both in the dance 
and the embrace-- a more stylized pose, perhaps.

Can anyone clarify?

Thanks,
