[Tango-L] Tango-L: Volcadas and Colgadas

[JFPaloma@aol.com]

The old saying "there's nothing new under the sun" applies to tango as  well.
My husband, born in Buenos Aires and dancing tango for 50 years, has  been 
doing colgadas all those years without realizing someone was going to  "invent" 
them in the future.
However, when he and his contemporaries were doing (and still do) colgadas,  
they execute them elegantly, with subtleness, without any of the "hey, look at 
 me" exaggeration that's so common on the dance floor today.  As the other  
old saying goes "less is more".
