[Tango-L] New generation of milongueros

[Iron Logic]

Janis is right.
   
  The milonguero became a milonguero by dancing for long time, his dance is refined by the number of miles around milonga ..and the tens of years. 
  Now he has become old, the strength is not there, he can no longer perform all those cool moves he was so good at , youth  is gone. The age has taken the toll. But the dance is there, it is the cream .
  ........
  Trying to be a "milonguero"s may be a meaningless persuit by definition. If you know how to dance, have a liking for music, dance for as many years as "milonguero's did, you will become a milonguero, it is inevitable.

  Hey Janis,

I think there are a few. But just a few - men under 65 who might actually be
able to carry on the real dance of the milongas. You know who they are.
There the guys who don't dance with every new hot chickie who comes too the
milonga. They're the ones who watch - really watch for the women who dance.
They're looking for someone they can mesh with. Someone who moves to the
music and with her partner. If she does any adornos, they're few, subtle, in
the music and she doesn't do the same thing every time. Whether she's 30 or
60 doesn't matter. When a milonguero finds a partner for a tanda, he wants
to please her. He is gracious, playful, gentle and giving when he dances and
between the dances. He walks (preferably dances) his partner to her chair.

There are a few of these guys in the younger generation, thank heavens. Most
of them do not teach or take classes - they dance.
