[Tango-L] open and close embrace

[WHITE 95 R]

It's very interesting to read these types of threads. Generally I see a lot 
of defensiveness and hostility from the so-called close embrace gurus. I've 
never seen a single thread started by a regular salon style dancer attacking 
the "apilado" style. The reverse is often true, I really don't know why some 
people get so hung up on this subject. It's preposterous to keep harping on 
the evils of "open embrace" and the goodness and light of "close embrace". I 
found this clip of some dancers dancing a regular salon style and doing 
firuletes and figures. These guys and their partners I belive are quite 
genuine, authentic Argentine tango dancers. Anybody who would question their 
bona fides needs to go back and re-start their tango education ;-)

It was a birthday party for Alberto Paz, the guys dancing are Mingo & Ester 
Pugliese, Facundo & Kely posadas and Pupi Castello and Graciela.

Enjoy!

Oh, BTW, in case some of you are wondering, I dance promarily in a close 
embrace style ;-)
