Argentine "Milongueros" ( some ) are important because they curry the great
spirit, intricate technique, and deep knowledge of styles which is mostly
unknown in the outside world filled with simplified versions of Tango. I
mean Tango Nuevo and Tango Milonguero the way it is danced and taught in
most places.

This is absurd to believe that a person practicing Tango every day for
several hours during 7 years, thinking about the philosophy, inventing and
discovering technique, learning and practicing various styles, researching
music, should wait for 30-40 years to obtain that unexplainable quality to
be called a "Milonguero".

So, it is possible to be a really good dancer only when you are 70?
Absurd !!!

Get back to the original meaning !
