[Tango-L] Tango Fire in Cleveland

[Nina Pesochinsky]

Hello, everyone,

Discussions where I hear "close embrace", "Milonguero style", etc., 
make me indignant.  Do people not realize that these things do not 
exist?!  Who are the people perpetuating these myths?!

When I lived in BsAs, I made it my business to find out about these 
terms.  I asked different dancers with 60+ years of non-stop dance 
experience what is a "milonguero" style.  Most of them said they did 
not know.  One said, "I am a milonguero, so it must be the style that 
I dance."  All of these dancers had very different styles, technique, etc.

People who are skilled dancers have only one embrace.  Those who have 
no skills have to give name to their limitations.

Please continue with your discussion!

Best regards,

Nina
